he started organization protest against a restaurant.

Dr. Robert Hayling was an African American dentist who lived in St. Augustine.  In the summer of 1963, he started organizing protests against restaurants and stores that did not treat African Americans fairly.  Soon after people began using civil disobedience  to fight against segregation.  Sixteen young African Americans went to a segregated lunch counter.   They refused to leave the lunch counter until they were served.  The police arrested them, but this made national news.  The news from this protest helped Congress to vote in favor of passing a law to end segregation.
