Lawson and his peers focused on segregated lunch counters as a strategic site for civil rights activism, aiming to challenge and dismantle racial segregation in public spaces. By targeting these locations, they sought to highlight the injustices of Jim Crow laws and provoke public awareness and discourse on racial inequality. The lunch counter sit-ins were designed to demonstrate the resolve of African Americans to demand equal treatment and to inspire broader participation in the Civil Rights Movement. Ultimately, these actions aimed to foster social change and promote desegregation across the South.
