On February 1, 1960 four freshmen from North Carolina A and T struck a blow against segregation by sitting at a 'whites only' lunch counter at a department store in Greensboro, North Carolina. They were denied service and quietly sat there until the store closed. However, their actions caused repeat performances in the following days by even more black students--and numerous copycat sit-ins throughout the segregated south.

This is a 1939 photo of the Choke 'Em Down Lunch Room (yep, that's what is was called!) in Belle Glade, Florida. Note that it advertises that both colored and white customers are welcome.
