NAACP Youth Council chapters staged sit-ins at whites-only lunch counters, sparking a movement against segregation in public accommodations throughout the South in 1960. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, you get to sit with Clarence Henderson at the Woolworth food counter, where only white people had the privilege to have a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNonviolent direct action increased during the presidency of John F.
