The sit-ins at the Woolworth lunch counter and the anger displayed by many white Americans during this time is an example of how racism still played a significant role in American society.

During this era, there were still many negative stereotypes about African-Americans, causing many white American citizens to view them as somewhat inferior. Along with this, many white Americans did not want integration because they were scared of change. These citizens liked the way society was structure and did not want to change the social norms at this time. Eating at a white's only restaurant gave them a sense of comfort and consistency that they have grown accustomed to throughout their lives.

Integrating these types of facilities would change everything.

Why do historians study history? a. in order to discover fossils b. in order to find old artifacts c. in order to understand hum
emmasim [6.3K]
<span>Why study history? The answer is because we virtually must, to gain access to the laboratory of human experience. When we study it reasonably well, and so acquire some usable habits of mind, as well as some basic data about the forces that affect our own lives, we emerge with relevant skills and an enhanced capacity for informed citizenship, critical thinking, and simple awareness. The uses of history are varied. Studying history can help us develop some literally “salable” skills, but its study must not be pinned down to the narrowest utilitarianism. Some history—that confined to personal recollections about changes and continuities in the immediate environment—is essential to function beyond childhood. Some history depends on personal taste, where one finds beauty, the joy of discovery, or intellectual challenge. Between the inescapable minimum and the pleasure of deep commitment comes the history that, through cumulative skill in interpreting the unfolding human record, provides a real grasp of how the world works.—Peter Stearns</span>
