Picture 1 (JV): When we sat down at the lunch counter at the woolworth store in Greensboro in February, 1960, we had no idea that we would unleash a huge movement all across the south that would lead to the desegregation of many southern businesses.

Picture 2(JG): We sat down at the "all white" lunch counter, and when the waitress refused to serve us, we stayed there until closing time, studying and not giving up our seats.

Picture 3(JV): And we did the same thing the next day and the day after that. Just a few days after we started, there were hundreds of students doing it all across the south. There weremore than 200 in Nashville alone.

Picture 4(JG): We were conducting civil disobediance. So, if we got punished, we wouldn't resist and we would just do the same thing again the next day, and again and again until our goal was accomplished. We weren't violent and didn't react when crowds of angry whites taunted and attacked us.

Picture 5(JV): In late July, more than 5 months after the sit-ins began, The Woolworth in Greensboro desegregated its lunch counter. The next day, the entire Woolworth chain was desegregated. This led to many other chains like Woolorth being desgregated.
