Inspired by the Greensboro, NC sit-ins of February 1960, the Atlanta Student Movement, led by the young men and women of Morehouse, Atlanta University, Clark College, Interdenominational Theological Center, Morris Brown College and Spelman College, brought sit-ins, kneel-ins and boycotts to Atlanta.
This ushered in the transition between Atlanta’s “old guard” civil rights leaders and the younger, more progressive student leaders. It was inspiring to learn how the students of the Atlanta University Center organized and executed their plans and affected change and how the movement influenced the presidential race between Kennedy and Nixon.
