The Civil Rights Movement Sit-ins

Sit-Ins On February 1, 1960, four African American college students from North Carolina A&T University began protesting racial segregation in restaurants by sitting at “White Only” lunch counters and waiting to be served.

Basic Sit-in Rules Dress in you Sunday best. Be respectful to employees and police. Do not resist arrest! Do not fight back! Remember, journalists are everywhere!

How the Strategy Worked Students would sit in all white area Breaking southern segregation laws Would be arrested When arrested, a new wave of students would take seats Put pressure on southern businesses who were losing money

SNCC In April 1960, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was founded in Raleigh, North Carolina, to help organize and direct the student sit-in movement. Adopted Dr. King’s strategy of non-violence

Sit-Ins Sit-ins spread throughout North Carolina, and within weeks sit-ins were taking place in cities across the South. Many restaurants were desegregated in response to the sit-ins. Successful non-violent form of protest
