-  On February 1, 1960, four black students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University took seats at the Woolworth lunch counter and did not relinquish them.
-  The four students were Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, Ezell Blair, Jr. (now Jibreel Khazan), and David Richmond. The next day there were twenty students, and soon sit-ins became a protest tactic throughout the South.
