5. I got to see part of this lunch counter after a portion of it was donated to The Smithsonian....

(The Museum of American History, DC)
That Woolworth's closed in 1993 so The Smithsonian went into talks to acquire a portion of it.

I saw it a year or so later. Oh, I could feel the currents of History wafting around me!

I didn't know that they'd been able to buy items at a desegragated counter in the same store a little while before. Wow!
