The Man Behind the Counter is a compelling interview that delves into the pivotal moment in Civil Rights history when four courageous college students from North Carolina A&T State University took a stand against segregation at a lunch counter in Woolworths. The film follows award-winning filmmaker and producer Garrett Davis as he returns to the site where these events unfolded for an intimate interview with Charles Bess, the man who served the students that day.

Please join this historic event on Friday, February 21 at 1 PM at the Seymour Center, 2551 Homestead Road in Chapel Hill, NC. For more information and to register, call 919-968-2070. This program is co-sponsored with AARP North Carolina in honor of Black History Month. We hope to see you there!
