i was really taken by the fact that the woolworth lunch counter is now physically moved into the smithsonian, and that a digital version of this iconic moment in civil right's history, is now a digital exhibit that is annotated. And so if you've never seen that lunch counter before, if you've maybe not acquainted yourself with a really important moment in american history. You can do so by navigating the annotations of this exhibit. That, again, shows how common and accessible and also provocative annotation can be.
