Greensboro Sit-Ins

Four Black college students staged a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter, refusing to leave after being denied service. Their peaceful protest sparked a nationwide wave of sit-ins and became a catalyst for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). The event marked a new phase of youth-led civil rights activism.
