Friday, April 1, 1960 - Saturday, April 2, 1960

Students resumed sit-in activities at the Kress and F.W. Woolworth stores and began picketing on Elm and Sycamore streets. That evening at a mass meeting, more than 1,200 students pledged to continue the protests.

By Saturday, April 2, 1960, both Woolworth's and Kress Stores had closed their lunch counters.

 Throughout the Sit-In movement, many stores choose to shut down their counters.
People came and sat regardless.
