The sit-in helped integrate other facilities. The Greensboro sit-ins were the first move African Americans made to change racial segregation and it didn’t just influence southern states but states all over the U.S. Protest were spreading from state to state and cities to cities. African Americans were sick of getting treated like they were different people, it was time to stand up and make a change! Slowly but surely restaurants throughout the south began to abandon their policies of segregation. Seeing the efforts of the students, the civil rights movement leaders put out a boycott on the Woolworth chain of business. This eventually led them to change their segregation policy. On July 25th the black employees at the Greensboro’s Woolworth were the first to be served. Every Woolworth was desegregated because of this and it allowed blacks and whites both to be served at the counter. On that day, the battle was finally won. The goal they tried to achieve was accomplished and restaurants, bathrooms, public transportation and many things were starting to become non-segregated. It was a major victory and was a good step to change America
