The primary tactic used to integrate southern lunch counters was nonviolent direct action, particularly through organized sit-ins. Activists, often comprising students from colleges and universities, would peacefully occupy segregated lunch counters, refusing to leave when denied service. This method aimed to draw public attention to the injustice of segregation and put pressure on businesses and local governments to change discriminatory practices. The sit-ins were part of a broader civil rights movement strategy that emphasized nonviolent resistance to achieve social and political change.
