On February 1, 1960, a group of black college students from North Carolina A&T University refused to leave a Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina where they had been denied service. This sparked a wave of other sit-ins in college towns across the South. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, or SNCC (pronounced "snick"), was created on the campus of Shaw University in Raleigh two months later to coordinate these sit-ins, support their leaders, and publicize their activities.MoreThe conference from which it formed took place on April 15-17, 1960. There is a link below.
Sit-ins were a common form of protest in the 1960s. People used to be arrested for participating in sit-ins.
