Despite some hard-fought gains in the fight for equality, racial segregation was still firmly entrenched in nearly every segment of society of 1960 America. American blacks were still being treated as second-class citizens. Spurred by the Montgomery bus boycott (1955-1956) and passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, blacks were more determined than ever to be outspoken in their demands.
In early 1960 a lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina became the scene of a civil rights action with results that eminent historians William S. Powell and William H. Chafe compared to the Boston Tea Party of 1773. Both were events that sparked a revolutionary drive for equality, initiated direct action instead of passive resistance, and brought organization and a brotherhood of commitment to the cause of relieving oppression.
