b) Greensboro, North Carolina

The Sit-In Movement, a form of nonviolent protest against racial segregation, was significantly initiated at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960. Four African American college students, known as the Greensboro Four, sat at a whites-only counter, sparking a movement that spread rapidly across the South. These sit-ins were instrumental in challenging segregation in public spaces, mobilizing youth, and bringing national attention to the Civil Rights Movement. This method of peaceful protest became a hallmark of the movement, leading to the desegregation of many public facilities across the country.
