A New Form of Protest: <strong>Sit</strong>-<strong>Ins</strong><br />

• As a means of<br />

protesting<br />

segregated lunch<br />

counters and<br />

stores, African<br />

Americans and<br />

white allies began<br />

to organize “sitins,”<br />

a form of<br />

peaceful protest<br />

in which<br />

participants would<br />

take a seat meant<br />

for “whites only”<br />

and wait for<br />

service.
