The International Civil Rights Center and Museum's Annual Golf Tournament is unlike any other golf tournament you may have participated in the past.  What makes this tournament special is the diversity built into the tournament.  Golf foursomes will be made up of individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds.

This bit of social engineering reinforces a major philosophical point of the International Civil Rights Center and Museum that all perspectives must be presented in a fair handed manner and the respect of each other is critical for civil and human rights development.

This golf tournament is a wonderful opportunity to have a great time and to network with a diverse group of individuals.  Community leaders and others are coming together to support this event and the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. 

We are pleased that Attorney Steve Bowden and former Greensboro Mayor Jim Melvin have agreed to be the Honorary Co-Chairs of the tournament.

The Tournament schedule is as follow: Sunday, June 3rd, 7:00PM, Pairing Party at the O'Henry Hotel with plenty of food to eat.  Golfers are welcome to bring their spouses to this event.  Monday, June 4th, Bryan Park Champion Course, 11:00am, Registration for golfers and a box lunch will be available.  A putting contest will take place starting at 11:45am.  Shotgun Start/ Captian Choice Format will take place at 12:30PM.  At 5:30PM there will be a Roundup and Cookout for all that participated in the golf tournament.

For more information please contact the Co-Chairs of the event, Rudolph Clark at (336) 540-8400, email address rclarkjr@triad.rr.com or Keith Dyer at (336) 337-3674, email address kdyer@theadagents.com or you can call the Sit-In Movement office at (336) 274-9199.
