Sit-Ins and Nonviolent Protest

Sit-ins and nonviolent protests are methods used to advocate for social change without resorting to violence. Sit-ins involve people occupying a space, such as a lunch counter, to protest segregation and demand equal treatment.

This method gained prominence during the Civil Rights Movement, with activists like John Lewis participating in sit-ins to challenge unjust laws. Nonviolent protest emphasizes peaceful means to bring attention to issues and create change.
