But then the next morning they would come in and sit in the same spot until closing again. This happened for days and word started to spread. Soon there were to many colored people in the diner. They couldnt serve anyone, because it was so crowed. The word started to spread more and soon not only were the sit-ins spreading across, Greensboro, not only were they spready across NC, they were spreading all across the south.
