Nashville sit-ins

The Nashville sit-ins were part of a nonviolent direct action campaign to end racial segregation at lunch counters in Nashville, Tennessee. The sit-ins lasted from February to May of 1960 and were notable for their early success and emphasis on disciplined nonviolence. Many of the organizers of the Nashville sit-ins went on to become important leaders in the U.S. Civil Rights Movement.
