This weekend, the Smithsonian Channel will rebroadcast their documentary examing the sit-ins at the Greensboro Woolworth's lunch counter in 1960.

The one-hour documentary, "Seizing Justice: The Greensboro 4," tells the story of the four college freshmen from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College -- Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, David Richmond and Ezell Blair, Jr. -- who led the nonviolent sit-in to make a statement that everyone should be served there. The sit-in wasn't the first of the Civil Rights Movement, but the simple actions of these four men sparked a series of events that would help put an end to the Jim Crow laws of the South.

The special airs on Saturday, February 4 at 9pm and Thursday, February 9 at 8pm. Smithsonian Channel is on Time Warner Cable digital channel 1264, DirecTV 565 and 1565, and AT&T U-Verse 118 and 1118.

If you don't have access to the Smithsonian channel, you can watch "Seizing Justice: The Greensboro 4" online at their website.

The Royal Ice Cream sit-in will finally be commemorated this afternoon when a state highway marker is unveiled on Roxboro Street.

The commemoration comes 51 years to the day after seven African-Americans walked into the whites-only section of the Royal Ice Cream shop and refused to leave. A state commission approved the marker late last year.

Here's what the plaque will say:

"Segregation protest at an ice cream parlor on this site, June 23, 1957, led to court case testing dual racial facilities."
