The peaceful demonstration you are referring to is a sit-in. Sit-ins were a form of nonviolent protest used during the civil rights movement, where protesters would occupy a space, such as a business that denied services based on race, and remain seated until they were served or removed. This method was aimed at challenging segregation and discriminatory practices.
