James Farmer, along with CORE, had a major part in the first African American sit-in that took place in Chicago, Illinois (1942). This first sit-in was the spark that ignited the fire of desegregation. These sit-ins started mainly the desegregation of public venues in the United States. The Chicago sit-ins helped give confidence to African Americans across America to start fighting the laws of segregation, especially in the south.
