Peaceful sit-in protest started by the 'Greensboro Four'. This brings up more and more peaceful sit-in protests across 13 other states with segregated lunch counters.

Ends: July 25th, 1960. The Greensboro protesting ends in a victory for all colored people, as lunch counters in Greensboro remove their segregation policies across town. This sparks other areas to follow suit, and eventually also gain their right to eat, no matter their skin color.
