W. Woolworth store and quietly sat down at the lunch counter. They were refused service, but they stayed until closing time. Jack Moebes, a photographer for the Greensboro Record, photographed them walking down the street in front of the store. The next morning, they came back with more students, including those in this image. Two weeks later, similar demonstrations had spread to several cities, and within a year, similar peaceful demonstrations took place in over a hundred cities North and South. At Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina, the students formed their own organization, the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced "Snick"). The students' bravery in the face of verbal and physical abuse led to Woolworth’s desegregation of all its stores within a few months after the first sit-in in Greensboro and the integration in many other commercial businesses even before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
