Today we look back positively on the lunch counter sit ins of 1960-1, as products of a movement that understood how to protest “the right way.” The overwhelming majority of Americans in 1961, however, disagreed. Their contemporaries thought those disruptive students were doing it all wrong.

Do you think "sit-ins" at lunch counters, "Freedom Buses" and other demonstrations by Negroes will hurt or help the Negro's chances of being integrated in the South?
