What to do about this?• David Richman, Frank McCain, Ezell Blair, and
Joseph McNeil had an idea and on February 1, 1960 in Greensboro, North Carolina they had a “sit-in.”
• They were four African Americans dressed in their best that were hungry and went into Woolworth’s for a doughnut and coffee with cream.

The Greensboro Record
Article from Greensboro Sit-in
Read the book Sit-In: How four friends stood up by sitting down by Andrea Davis Pinkney.
What to do about this?• Other sit-ins had occurred, in Durham, in
1957; in Oklahoma City and Wichita City, Kan., in 1958; and in several northeastern cities even before that. But they didn't catch fire the way the one in Greensboro did, from CBS
Were there other types of protests?
• Sit-ins (Freedom Riders, 1961)• Boycotts (Montgomery bus boycott, 1955)• Picketing (numerous)• Organizations (NAACP, SNCC, CORE)• Marches (March on Washington 1963)• Court cases were brought forth
Were all these events peaceful?
