Greensboro Lunch Sit Ins (1 Feb 1960 Jahr – 25 Jul 1960 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The Greensboro Sit Ins, which took place in 1960, were staged by a group of college students in Greensboro, North Carolina, who sat down at an all-white Woolsworth counter and refused to leave after being denied service. The Greensboro protest continued for many months, but also inspired a movement of Sit Ins nationwide, that were effective in creating change during the Civil Rights movement.
