UMDNJ's McLaughlin Speaks of Historic Civil Rights Role

Dr. George McLaughlin, clinical associate professor in the Restorative Dentistry Department at UMDNJ-New Jersey Dental School, recalls his participation in the historic 1960 student sit-ins at the Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, where African-Americans had been refused service. His talk at UMDNJ marks the 50th anniversary of the sit-in, which is now considered one of the major events in the history of the civil rights movement.
