feb 1, 1960 - Greensboro Sit-ins
Description:
The Greensboro sit-ins were a series of nonviolent protests that began on February 1, 1960, at a Woolworth's store in Greensboro, North Carolina, where four African-American students sat at a white-only lunch counter. This act sparked a widespread movement against racial segregation in public places, eventually leading to the desegregation of the Woolworth's lunch counter and other businesses in Greensboro and beyond.Added to timeline:
