Greensboro Sit-ins
Back to event
In Greensboro, North Carolina, four students decided to protest by sitting in a white only lunch counter. They were refused service but the students still sat unmoving at the counter. The students sat there peacefully and didn't move even when threatened with violence. This led to people to start movements all over the south. After a few days almost a hundred african americans were participating in the sit-ins. Store owners were starting to integrate their restaurants to stop losing money. In the end they chose peace over violence.

Birmingham
Back to event
Birmingham was known as a very segregated city. The police chief was also very anti-integration. When Martin Luther King came to Birmingham he was arrested and was in jail for weeks. While in jail he wrote a "Letter from a Brimingham jail" which explained his goals for the Civil Rights Movement. Thousands of children were organized to march in Birmingham. This didn't go well with the authorities, they sprayed kids with high power hoses and used attack dogs to stop them. When people saw what was happening to children they decided to desegregate but this didn't stop hatred and violence in the community eventually led to 4 girls dying.
