Rights Movement in the 1960s. Four young Black men sat down at the \u201cWhites Only\u201d counter of the Greensboro Woolworth\u2019s in February 1960, refusing to leave until they were served. In the days and weeks that followed, sit-ins expanded to other businesses in the area, with hundreds of participants. By the end of the summer, the city had desegregated all public eating places.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex
