bonjour
On February 1th, we were, four college friends, in a lunch counter in a Woolworth in Greensboro. They deny to serve us. So we refused to leave the store and organised a "sit in" .The news spread over our community very quickly, and in more than 50 Southerntowns "sit-ins" were organised. We extended this action, not only to lunch counter in Woolworth, but also, in all-white beaches, churches, libraries, so it was called "wades-in", "kneel-ins" or "read-ins". That was our way to combat discrimination with a non-violent protest.
The Reverend Dr Martin Luther-King and Len Holt provided lessons to other black students for all kind of non-violent protests.
"Sits-in" in Nashville, Tennessee led to 76 arrestations but however, we believe this has forced politicians and business men to deal with our community and a favorable decision , we think, is near.
J'espère que c'est suffisant et si c'est trop long, c'est facile de couper
bonne soirée :)
