Sit Ins

North Carolina was a place filled with discrimination and racism. in that location were places where African Americans couldnt eat or shop in the same stores. Although thraldom was over, some of the feelings that whites felt towards blacks were still empresses. With that being said, on February 6, 1960, four unsalted men that went to A university decided that they should make a stand against discrimination in their town. I can remember the day like yesterday. It was the fondness of February when they people inceptioned talking ab bulge doing the next sitIn, I knew that I would be in that location taking a stand with the rest of my people. We went Into the diner and in a flash sat down at the counter as tables. When I convey that there were hundreds of people that came down to help support the movement. And It wasnt all blacks that supported, there were whites down there too who helped In the sit-ins. We sat there for hours on edge Just walling for someone to service us, but they just stared. For a long time they Just watched us Like we were aliens. They didnt know whether to be confused or angry. After some time had past, they had soon called the cops.And to the officers surprise, they were out numbered by a lot. They had to call for back up just to start to get us out. We made authorized we stood our ground and made sure we kept our composure. It had gotten really bad too. People were throwing drinks at us, food, and anything else that they thought would dismiss us into reacting in a negative way. The police officers started to get fleshly and violent and we werent even do anything wrong. All we wanted was to be serviced and waited on. Whats the going away between blacks money and whites? Just knew that this would be a part of a long process that will soon end with positive results.
