Woolworth Lunch counter Sit-ins
1. Imagine you are the 4 students deciding to go and protest at Woolworths. What would you say to each other, what would the conversation sound like? Act out the conversation about the plan and then the eventual protest at Woolworths on Feb 1st 1960
2. Imagine that you are one of the college students who trained and took part in one of the groundbreaking 1960 Nashville lunch counter
Sit-Ins. Write a letter to a friend describing the experience. What was the Sit-In like? How did you prepare? How did you manage to remain passive in the face of the threats, violence, and hostility of those around you?
