Jeopardy cheatsheet

If you want to appear smarter when you're watching Jeopardy tonight, here's a quick cheatsheet: this famous photo is part of one of the answers.

The question? "What is....?"

Well, I don't know. I just know that the photo by Jack Moebes of Day 2 of the Greensboro sit-ins at the Woolworth's downtown is part of the answer because the show's producers requested the rights to use it. Seated left to right are Joseph McNeil, Franklin McCain, Billy Smith and Clarence Henderson. You'll note that these are not the original Greensboro Four. McNeil and McCain sat at the lunch counter on Feb. 1, 1960. Here are the original four leaving that day.

Spend a little time on this site and you'll be ready to impress your friends with your sense of history.

Update: "What is Greensboro, Alex?" was the correct answer. Unwisely, the three contestants didn't have time to visit this site before the game and no one came up with the right answer. Dioni Wise's story.
