The sit-ins gave birth to an official civil rights movement, where students all across the U.S. protested peacefully for their rights. These events indirectly inspired the 1964 Civil Rights Act, '65 Voting Rights Act, and the '68 Housing Act. This would not have been possible without the four students at Greensboro.

The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was created through the collaboration of northern and southern African American students. They not only sat-in at lunch counters, but created "wade-ins" at all-white pools and "pray-ins" at churches. Another organization was the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE), which directly endorsed the events taking place.

The term "Sit-In," refers to a trend in the 1960's when students would sit in an all-white establishment in protest against discrimination. After the first incident in Greensboro, the action of sitting in spread throughout the U.S., contributing to the eventual end of legal discrimination.
