On Feb 1, 1960 four college students sat in at a segregated restaurant in Greensboro, NC. This action quickly spread to other places throughout the South and unleashed a decade of student activism. Almost six decades later, high school students in Parkland, Florida, reeling from the murder and maiming of their classmates, galvanized a national movement, led by young students to demand an end to gun violence. This talk will highlight some of the key moments of student activism in the 1960’s and compare and contrast it with the student activists organizing around the “March for Our Lives.”
