Representing the protests of 1960 from Woolworth’s Lunch Counter in Greensboro, NC, J’s Lunch Counter is a space to dialogue, to share, to connect, a place to argue, to debate, to protest, a place to gather and celebrate.   It represents our history and our vision for the future. It is a safe space for ideas to be shared and to be challenged, for people to learn and become engaged.   J’s Lunch Counter is a place where men and women come together for good, for growth, for progress.
