The first sit-in is often credited to the Greensboro sit-ins, which began on February 1, 1960, when four African American college students sat at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. This nonviolent protest aimed to challenge racial segregation in public spaces. However, earlier forms of sit-in protests occurred in the 1930s and 1940s, such as those by labor activists. The Greensboro sit-ins sparked a wave of similar protests across the United States during the Civil Rights Movement.
Greensboro
"Sit-ins" took on this name because participants literally sat in areas where they were not allowed in order to protest the laws allowing there exclusion from the facility. They often took place at lunch counters and diners, most notably, the Woolworth's sit-in in Greensboro, NC.
Greensboro was founded in 1771 and is in Guilford County. The name Greensboro came from Nathanael Greene, a Revolutionary War general.
