things and to be able to build a better society they stun those kinds of devices. >> the internet started with this thing people needed to get to somewhere by dial-up connections. we brought the internet from that thing somewhere to your home. we brought that internet from being your home to be with every device you carry around, mobile internet. the next stage is about taking it from all these mobile devices to things, to information and connecting not just people but things with people, information with people. so we can actually create whole what we call internet of everything. i think we are at the early stages of building out the internet of everything. >> monday night at 8:00 p.m. on "the communicators" on c-span 2. >> all weekend long american history tv be featuring greensboro, north carolina, home of the guildford county court house. it was named after nathanael greene, who led forces against the reddish during the american revolutionary war. hosted by time warner cable partners, c-span's city tours

served against their policies and practices. this is the actual lunch counter area that's been preserved. some seats have been taken out in other areas that are at thing smithsonian and other musics. -- and other museums. the four young men that sat in here have talked to us about around where they sat, so a lot of the things you will see here are the actual advertisements around the different menu items they offered and the prices. these four were franklin mccain, ezell blair, joseph mcneal, and david richmond. they were freshmen at north carolina a & c, a historically black university here. they came to the store, sat at the lunch counter and asked to order i believe some coffee and a piece of pie. the responses with really mixed.

"you boys go on from here," i think another waitress was saying, "we don't serve colored people here. " the word spread quickly the next day that this was going to be ongoing and that other people were wanting to get involved. other adults were showing up there were other students that said we want to be part of this. students from bennett college and what is noy unc greensboro but was at the time women's college. other students who wanted to get involved and stand behind this brave, courageous step. they weighed the consequences. they talked about being afraid but they also talked about what i would say that courage many is not the lack of fear, it's doing what is right in the face of fear. it's the way they decided to finally come here and take the step that day. so they talked about the community, talked about law enforcement, they talked about the police, what would be their

reaction. they talked about the dangers, the consequences, their futures. they had been advised, counsel siled, eastern courged, trained about what was going to be -- to happen to them here. they would go through sort of mork experiences where people are going to be calling you names, spitting on you. people may throw food on you those kind of things. people may be chanting, getting in your face, there may be some physical experience you may have with someone. so there were mixed reactions in greensboro fought sit-in. a lot of people felt like this is just the way things are and up keep the peace, you just accept that that's the way things are. i think other people feel like this isn't right so there were mixed reactiones to this. there are some people, white and black, that encouraged and said it's about time and lent their support. other people said you're just starting trouble, this isn't

good, it's just going to create more sfention -- tension around here so there were mixed reactions to that. i think there were around the country. so the sit-ins sort of sparked this dialogue and discussion and frustrate -- frustration about what it is that we're going to do? there were requests made that while we're in negotiations if we could just not have the demonstrations. i think the negotiations went on for some time and all parties agreed that that he would not participate in the demonstrations atd that point and then the decision was made to desegregate the lunch counter. you set a precedent like that, it gets tos -- to be used as leverage to change people's minds and practices. those thinds are catalysts to saturday -- start that domino effect of equality and justice. the fact that this happened in greensboro gives us an incredible immediate sense of

how to interpret and understand what we're going through today. to be able to come to this museum, to go on the tour, to look at the differ exhibits, to hear the re-enactments, to be able to see the photographs ans to have an incredibly personal experience, a very compelling, pro vovegtive -- provocative experience here gives us the courage to say what must we do going snard i think this place provides the contextual information to understand why do we have racial inhe canityies today? why do we have achievement gaps? why do we have overrepresentation in our criminal justice and juvenile justice systems? so we have this place right here where we can put our hands on it and we can come and be not only in that physical place but in that interpretive space. the actions that those young men took on that day and the fact that we were able to memorize

that here in this museum -- museum gives us an opportunity to ask ourselves, what is my lunch counter issue? what would i be demonstrating? or if those young men were here today, what we -- would they say societally needs to be addressed and what would be the strategy for that? >> throughout the weekend, american history tv is featuring greensboro, north carolina. our cities tour staff recently traveled there to learn about its rich history. learn more about greensboro and other stops on c-span's tour at c-span.org/cities tour. you are watching american history tv, all weekend, every weekend on c-span 3. up next on american history tv, former cia chief of disguise jonna mendez recounts the story of how czech husband and wife,
