The Greensboro Sit-ins were a anti-segregation demonstration led by college students in Greensboro, North Carolina. They were protesting segregation of lunch counters and other public places. The movement spread quickly, with most of North Carolina involved in the sit-in. The participators would sit at the counter until they were served, sometimes for weeks.

The Civil Rights Movement was not all sunshine and rainbows, however. The Birmingham Children's March was an example of this. It started with high hopes. Civil Rights leaders in Birmingham had run out of willing volunteers for demonstrations, so they turned to children. The children marched down the street in pairs, holding signs and protesting segregation. They were brutally repressed. The police beat them with batons and set their dogs on the defenseless children. Fire hoses blasted them to the ground and tore open clothing and skin. Thousands of children were arrested, and the protest was called off.But the brutality eventually backfired on the oppressors, when the nation saw the events in Birmingham, it increased the push for desegregation.
