** FILE ** A pedestrian makes his way past The International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro, N.C., Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2005. The center is located in the F.W. Woolworth building, birthplace of the Civil Rights movement where four freshmen from historically black North Carolina A&T State University sat at the store’s whites-only lunch counter and requested service. Instead of opening this month, a civil rights museum honoring the 1960s sit-ins at a former Woolworth’s store here is bogged downin rising construction costs and weary donors. The 11-year-old project remains on hold with $10 million still needed. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome, File)Four Black college students began a sit-in protest at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, where they had been refused service.
