It is most famous for staging "sit-ins" in restaurants across the American South, where black protesters (and a number of white supporters) sat in the "Whites Only" section of a segregated restaurant, and sat there and sat there, even when the waiters refused service to them. It was also instrumental in the 1963 march on Washington, where [[Martin Luther King]] gave his famous, 'I have a dream' speech.
