How a Sit-In Protest Helped End Segregation at McDonald | Eater
"Located in a commercial strip at 1101 Summit Avenue in Greensboro, this drive-in became the focus of a May 1963 student-led desegregation campaign; protesters—mostly college students—marched with signs, endured rocks and bottle-throwing, were met by police and arrests, and drew in high-schoolers and the wider community, pressuring the franchisee to relent within four days and stop forcing Black customers to wait until whites had been served." - Marcia Chatelain
