The events at Lester Maddox's Pickrick Cafeteria in 1964 are best represented by option **D: Georgians were refusing to integrate**.
At that time, Georgia, like many Southern states, was experiencing significant resistance to the civil rights movement and the integration of public spaces. Maddox, known for his staunch segregationist views, famously refused to serve African American customers at his cafeteria, highlighting the prevailing attitudes of racial segregation and discrimination in the state. His actions and stance were emblematic of the social climate in Georgia during this period, which was marked by significant conflict over civil rights and racial equality.
