The 1957 Durham, NC Sit-in

In one of the earliest sit-ins of the American Civil Rights Movement, the "Royal Seven," a group of three women and four men from Durham, NC sat in at the Royal Ice Cream Parlor on June 23, 1957 to protest practices of segregation.[6] The activists were arrested and charged with trespassing. Their efforts are now recognized via historical markers in the town of Durham, North Carolina.

Despite their refusal to retaliate, over 150 students were eventually arrested for refusing to vacate store lunch counters when ordered to do so by police. At trial, the students were represented by a group of 13 lawyers, headed by Z. Alexander Looby. On April 19, Looby's home was bombed, however, neither he nor his wife were injured.
