Did anybody get hurt in the 1960 sit-ins?

Answer 1

During the 1960 sit-ins, particularly the ones that began in Greensboro, North Carolina, there were instances of violence and confrontation, but there were no reported serious injuries. Protesters faced verbal harassment and physical intimidation from counter-protesters and some law enforcement, but the sit-ins were largely nonviolent in nature. The focus of the sit-ins was to challenge segregation peacefully, which helped draw national attention to the Civil Rights Movement.
