''February One'' (also referred to as the A&T Four Monument) is the name of the 2002 monument dedicated to Ezell Blair, Jr., Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil and David Richmond who were collectively known as the Greensboro Four. The 15-foot bronze and marble monument is located on the western edge of the campus of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, North Carolina. James Barnhill, the sculptor who created the monument, was inspired by the historic 1960 image of the four college aged men leaving the downtown Greensboro Woolworth store after holding a sit-in protest of the company's policy of segregating its lunch counters. The sit-in protests were a significant event in the African American Civil Rights Movement due to increasing national sentiment of the fight for the civil rights of African-Americans during this period in American history. ==Artist== James Barnhill (born 1955) is a native of Asheville, North Carolina. He received a Bachelor's degree in Art Education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from University of North Carolina at Greensboro.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jamesbarnhill.com/artist.html )〕 Barnhill has won a number of awards for his works including: the Jefferson D. Ruben Memorial Award for classical sculpture and the Leonard J. Meiselman Prize for a ‘realistic sculpture done in the classical tradition.’〔 Other works of his include: ''Minerva'', on the campus of UNC Greensboro; a bronze bust of Booker T. Washington for the Booker T. Washington National Monument; ''Angel of Montoursville'', for the town of Montoursville, Pennsylvania honoring those that died during the TWA Flight 800 crash;〔 and ''General Greene'', a sculpture of Revolutionary War General Nathanael Greene commissioned by the city of Greensboro for its bicentennial celebration. Barnhill currently serves on the board of directors for the African-American Atelier, and has previously served on the board of directors for the North Carolina Arts Council and the Greensboro Art Alliance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jamesbarnhill.com/pdf/resume.pdf )〕 Currently he serves as an Assistant Professor of Art at North Carolina A&T State University.
