Summary of Class 1/14-1/15

On Thursday in class, we started our class by introducing what sit ins were.We learned that sit ins were when were non violent protests where African Americans and whites that were supporters, would sit in an area not designated to their race and not move, no matter what. We watched a video on this to better our knowledge. Today in class, we took notes and watched a video about another group that participated in sit ins. Unlike the other sit ins that were in a restaurant, this took place on a bus. The African Americans sat on this buses, so white people could not. Angered by this, whites threw stuff at them, beat them, slashed the tires, etc.
