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.

A protest of sitting at lunch counters to end segregated seating
The Freedom Riders
The name given to these student protests was the sit-in protests.
The primary tactic used to integrate southern lunch counters was nonviolent direct action, particularly through organized sit-ins. Activists, often comprising students from colleges and universities, would peacefully occupy segregated lunch counters, refusing to leave when denied service. This method aimed to draw public attention to the injustice of segregation and put pressure on businesses and local governments to change discriminatory practices. The sit-ins were part of a broader civil rights movement strategy that emphasized nonviolent resistance to achieve social and political change.
