When he experienced unjust treatment solely because he was a colored man, he decided to stand up for what was right, and he became one of the Greensboro Four, the activist group who staged the first sit-in.

The sit-in was at a lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, after they were refused service because they were colored. With his help, this created an outburst of sit-ins across the state and it greatly increased national sentiment for the just treatment of African Americans in the South.
