===Sit-ins===
The Civil Rights Movement received an infusion of energy when students in Greensboro, [[North Carolina]]; [[Nashville]], [[Tennessee]]; and [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia]], began to "sit-in" at the lunch counters of a few of their local stores, to protest those establishments' refusal to desegregate. These protesters were encouraged to dress professionally, to sit quietly, and to occupy every other stool so that potential white sympathizers could join in. Many of these sit-ins provoked local authority figures to use brute force in physically escorting the demonstrators from the lunch facilities.
