may 4, 2010 - Greensboro North Carolina Sit-it

Description:

Four African American men went into a restaurant that didn't serve black people and stayed there until they served them. This was considered deviant because it was going against the rules of the restaurant. The goal of this was to end segregation. A sanction was that people who disagreed with them became violent. This was a step towards desegregation.
