Greensboro Sit-ins
Ezell Blair, Jr. (later Jibreel Khazan), Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond, all sat at a segregated diner counter. They were all refused service but, still sat there. They sat from morning to night peacefuly even though people were throwing things at them, and shouting at them. The sit ins got so big that all african american students at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro joined. This lead to desegregation in Greensboro and led to sit ins in other places. It was important because it gave blacks pride and started even more protests against segregation.
This is an image taken from the first sit in in the Woolworth store
This is the college the people who started and joined the sit ins came from.

This is the highschool the little rock nine attended an attempted to desegregate
Little Rock Nine
in 1957 Minnijean Brown, Terrance Roberts, Elizabeth Eckford, Ernest Green, Thelma Mothershed, Melba Patillo, Gloria Ray, Jefferson Thomas, and Carlotta Walls attempted to integrate Central HS in Little Rock Arkansas. After the kids attended for a year the governor shut down all little rock schools to stop desegregation. This was important because they helped turn over the decision in brown vs board of education, and helped strengthen the civil rights movement.
