Greensboro sit-ins
The Greensboro sit-ins were a series of nonviolent protests in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960,〔(The Greensboro Sit-In ), history, Retrieved February 25, 2015〕 which led to the Woolworth department store chain removing its policy of racial segregation in the Southern United States.〔("Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-In" ), Library of Congress. Retrieved November 26, 2010.〕
While not the first sit-ins of the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the Greensboro sit-ins were an instrumental action, and also the most well-known sit-ins of the Civil Rights Movement, these sit-ins lead to increased national sentiment at a crucial period in US history. The primary event took place at the Greensboro, North Carolina, Woolworth store, now the International Civil Rights Center and Museum.
==Background==
(詳細はAfrican-American Civil Rights Movement (1954–68), it was not the first. Under white supremacist oppression, in August of 1939, black attorney Samuel Wilbert Tucker organized a sit-in at the then-segregated Alexandria, Virginia, library.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://oha.alexandriava.gov/bhrc/lessons/bh-lesson2_reading2.html )〕 In 1942, the Congress of Racial Equality sponsored sit-ins in Chicago, as they did in St. Louis in 1949 and Baltimore in 1952. A 1958 sit-in in Wichita, Kansas also was successful.
