What were the segregation laws?

• Jim Crow Laws

Page 11: Protests to Segregation

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

Page 15: Protests to Segregation

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
