Were any of these kids found and interviewed later on in life?
The kids getting abused, yeah.

The kids doing the abusing - strangely, no. No one’s interviewed them so far as a quick search could tell.
Interestingly, the waitress not pictured here was interviewed for StoryCorps. https://storycorps.org/stories/woolworths-lunch-counter-waitress/
That was in Jackson, MS, as opposed to the Greensboro one.
Wow, interesting! Thanks for the reading material.
