A sit-in means occupying an area in protest. Sit-ins were common during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. They often led to people calling the police but because sit-ins are peaceful and perfectly legal, no one can be arrested or removed. This was an effective way of getting businesses to change racist policies while raising national awareness of segregation issues.
