Question: How did young people in the south, both black and white, voice their rejection of “the whole stigma of being inferior” during 1960 and the first half of 1961?
Answer: <u>Young people in the south, both black and white staged lunch-counter sit ins.
</u>
Explanation: On February 1st 1960, four African American students sat down at a lunch counter where the official rule was to give service only to whites. The four were denied service, however, these men refused to give up their seats. This was their way of protesting and demonstrating their rejection towards “the whole stigma of being inferior”. On February 5th, about 300 students joined the protest by doing the same action at the lunch counter and other local businesses. This spread quickly to college towns in both the South and North. Young black and white people united and began their peaceful protest against segregation in beaches, libraries, hotels, malls, etc.
