> The February 1960 sit-in by four young college freshmen at the Woolworth's
> lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina galvanized the civil rights
> movement in the United States.  In the process, ordinary citizens from both
> the black and white communities in Greensboro--and across America--were
> forced to grapple with their beliefs about race and justice.  Utilizing
> both dramatic and comic scenes, monologues, and dramatized news reports,
> Periphery focuses on ordinary citizens--particularly two families, one
> black and one white--whose lives are touched by the changing world around
> them.  The central stories in Periphery are not those of the courageous
> "Greensboro Four" but instead include those who stand witness to the
> historic events in this Southern city--those on the periphery of the sit-in
> demonstration--who must choose between continuing the injustices of the
> past or moving forward toward a more just America.
