February 1, 1960 four African-American student sat at a table with a small cafe in the town of Woolworth's in Greensboro. Cafe waiter told them that he would not serve black people and advised students to get out on their own. However, the four young men were sitting in their seats before closing institutions - to expel them had no right.

The next morning, the coffee shop and sat for 12 gloomy black, on the third day - 60. On the fourth day at the cafe was already 400 blacks - they took all the cafes, and even standing on the street. Guide Woolworth's sounded the alarm - a little more, and a network of coffee shops had to close.

African Americans across the country took up the protest, and US institutions quickly began to abolish racial rule. Four years have passed and was signed by the famous Civil Rights Act, which abolished racial segregation.
