Why did the blacks start the sit ins?
To protest segregation. Under the Jim Crow laws, African Americans had to use separate facilities than whites (bathrooms, drinking fountains etc.) they were forced to go to different schools and sit seperately on busses and at restaurants. The sit ins started as a non violent protest agains segregation policies at Woolworths, a department store lunch counter. Blacks (and some white allies) would sit in at white lunch counters and wait to be served, often resulting in beatings and arrests. Obviously, they worked and segregation was outlawed. These sit ins were an important historical point in the early civil rights movement.
