Greensboro Sit-Ins (1 févr. 1960 – 25 juill. 1960)
Description:
The Greensboro Sit-ins started in Greensboro, North Carolina as a Civil Rights protest of many young African Americans. It was a kind of civil disobedience wherein these young people would sit at the lunch counters that they were not supposed to sit at because they were only for white people. They would sit there and stay, despite being refused service and often asked to leave. While these were not the first sit-in protests, they are probably the most famous and they served an important role in the civil rights movement as a catalyst for the sit-in movement that spread throughout the state and throughout the South.Ajouté au bande de temps:
