sit-in

Sixty-four years ago, four North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University freshmen staged a sit-in at a Woolworth in Greensboro to fight segregation. The school commemorated the anniversary today with a conversation about social justice. 

One of the first lunch counter sit-ins of the civil rights movement took place in Oklahoma City in 1958. This weekend, the city remembers the protest and its organizer, Clara Luper.

As a way to fight climate change, students at hundreds of campuses are pushing their colleges to divest from fossil fuels with sit-ins. But critics say divestment is the wrong tactic.
