After learning about the training involved in non-violent protests, visitors are invited to participate in a lunch counter sit-in simulation and place themselves in the shoes of non-violent protestors in 1960.
In cities such as Greensboro and Nashville, college students staged non-violent "sit-ins," asking to be served at whites-only lunch counters to protest segregation. Workshop leaders prepared demonstrators for what they would endure by acting out the scenes ahead of time and creating plans in the case of arrest or harm.
