Sit-ins

In the 60s black people were not allowed to attend many segregationist public facilities. However, in February 1960, black students sat down at a "White-only" lunch-counter and ordered food. They didn't move until they had been served, which was forbidden. When they were arrested, a new group took their place. The students always remained non-violent and respectful. This sit-in movement was very successful: within six months, segregation had ended in restaurants in twenty-six southern cities.

This non-violent strategy also developed in public parks, swimming-pools, theatres, churches, libraries, museums and beaches.
