It was February 1, 1960.
They didn't need menus. Their order was simple.

A doughnut and coffee, with cream on the side.

This picture book is a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the momentous Woolworth's lunch counter sit-in, when four college students staged a peaceful protest that became a defining moment in the struggle for racial equality and the growing civil rights movement.

Andrea Davis Pinkney uses poetic, powerful prose to tell the story of these four young men, who followed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words of peaceful protest and dared to sit at the "whites only" Woolworth's lunch counter. Brian Pinkney embraces a new artistic style, creating expressive paintings filled with emotion that mirror the hope, strength, and determination that fueled the dreams of not only these four young men, but also countless others.

New mom jeans
Perfect Jean for my new postpartum bod! Was sad that none of my old jeans fit. I Was mourning them really-then I decided to just bite the bullet and buy some new jeans in my new size and these are them! They are relaxed enough for me to bend at the knees and not feel like I’m cutting off blood, but fitted enough that I don’t look like a slouch. I could technically have gone a size down and would have liked them but I appreciate some give in this phase of life. For reference I am 5’6 and 129 lbs and I got a 27

So cute and well-made
Great pants made very well, I was hoping they’d be a little longer when I folded them back down at the ankle. But a little too short for me I’m 5’7” which is perfect for us spring and summer, but not going into winter where I live. If you were 5’6” they might be perfect for wearing rolled up or down. It’s a good quality material. They feel very durable in the style is right on!

Love these jeans, so soft and lightweight but with all the usual Levi’s class. I bought them in three different colors. They’re so well fitting and comfortable to wear. Im 5’5 140 pounds and it is true to size. The perfect fit every time.!

Classics! Good material with no stretch.
Size: 28, Color: Verified Vintage
I am in love with these jeans. I ordered another pair in a different wash. I also sized up two sizes but I like the looser, slouchy fit.

I love these. They fit perfect in the waist but are roomy else where.
