On this day in 1963: NAACP Youth Council begins sit-ins at lunch counters in Oklahoma City

Start:     Aug 19, '09
Location:     USA
When four black college students sat in protest at Woolworth’s segregated lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, at the time, it was unforeseen what impact their actions would have on the rest of the South. As the sit-in garnered national attention, the sit-in movement spread to other southern cities and led to the desegregation of numerous lunch counters.
