Greensboro Sit-ins
On February 1, 1960, four African American North Carolina A&T University students began a sit-in protest at a lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Even though protestors got food poured on them and were even arrested in some cases, they didn't give up. It eventually led to most of the businesspeople choosing to make peace and treat African Americans the same as whites. The Greensboro Sit-ins were important because they caused the sit-in movement to spread throughout the South.

Brown vs. Board of Education
After Oliver Brown sued Kansas for the right to send his daughter to a white school, the case made its way to the Supreme Court. This case and four other cases were combined into one big case known as Brown vs. Board of Education. The NAACP argued that segregated schools could never be equal. The simple act of separating people suggested that one group was seen as better than the other.
Linda Brown was denied enrollment into an all-white school
On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court declared the end of legal school segregation, but there was no set date the schools had to desegregate by.

Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott
African Americans boycotting the buses by riding bikes
Rosa Parks was arrested on December 1, 1955, but she was released from jail the next day because a former president of her NAACP chapter posted bail money.
Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested just because she refused to give her bus seat up to a white man. Because Rosa Parks was well-respected in the African American community, everyone knew of her arrest. A group of African American women then spread word to other African Americans to boycott the buses until segregation on public buses ended.
Rosa parks wrote "People always say that I didn't give up my seat [that day] because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. . . . No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
