108+Greensburo+Sit-ins

= 108 Greensboro sit in = On February 1st 1960 four students from the agriculture and technical college of carolina sat down at the lunch counter inside the Woolworth's store on 132 elm street North Carolina. The men, later known as the Greensboro four ordered coffee. The lunch counter staff refused because of store policy not to serve african americans at the "whites only" counter and the manager had to ask them to leave. But they still stayed until the store closed. The next day, more than twenty African American students who had been recruited from other campus groups came to the store to join the sit-in. White customers heckled the black students, who read books and studied to keep busy. The lunch counter staff continued to refuse service. On the third day, more than 60 people came to the Woolworth's store. More than 300 people took part on the fourth day. The owner of the campus was requested to keep the students on campus. But he refused to do that because his students had their own choices. So it kept on going.
