   Initiated by young students in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1960, sit-ins spread rapidly. Local college and high school students would non-violently occupy “whites-only” seats at lunch counters.

   Local students formed groups like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and played major roles in sit-ins and Freedom Rides, challenging segregation in the Deep South.
