Four college students from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College walked into the local F.W. Woolworth's on February 1, 1960, and without help from an organization, they purchased school supplies and sat down at a "whites only" lunch counter. They were unharmed the first day. In the following days these students were followed by others who soon occupied all of the seats at the lunch counter. This action inspired other sit-in movements throughout the south.
