Type of nonviolent protest often used in libraries and resturaunts during the civil rights movement?

During the 1960's civil rights movement, demonstrators for civil rights were nonviolent ones. One basic form of protest was called a "sit in". In these situations, protesters would sit inside or outside a public place for example and refuse to move away when requested to do so by police. When the police arrested them, they would not stand up and they allowed their bodies to become limp. This forced the police to carry them to the vehicle for transport to the police station.
