The Sit-In Movement in Fayetteville, N.C.

The Rev. William Moore of Philadelphia was a college student in North Carolina in the early 1960s. Inspired by the Greensboro sit-in, he and his classmates staged sit ins in Fayetteville. He recalls, "We would go into the stores, we would sit at the counter, and we would ask for a burger, french fries, and a Coke. And they would ask us to leave, please leave, and we did not leave, we just sat there." Read more on the Rev. William Moore: Sitting In and Taking a Stand: A Civil Rights Activist's 61-Year Journey.
