1960

1960-Four black college tudents begin sit-ins at the lunch counter of a Greensboro, North Carolina, restaraunt where black patrons are not served. By: Mahki Motley, Ellen Trautwien, Evan Micele

The people involved in the 1960 Sit- in were Franklin McCain, Joeseph Mcneil, Ezell Blair Jr., and David Richmond in Greensboro, North Carolina. The importance of these sit-ins was that it helped stop the segregationn in place like restraunts and movie theatres. the sit ins were held in resaraunts throughout the south. The overall effect of this movement was effective since now there isnt segregation in modern restruants.but it wasnt as easy as it may appear they wernt just sitting there they were taking insults for the store owners, white customers, and even police officers. the insults werent the only bad thing that happen to the members of sit ins pepole would dump ketchup, musterd,salt and other conduments on them an even spit on them
