Answer 1

The civil resistance event during the Civil Rights Movement that led to the Woolworth department store chain removing its policy of racial segregation was the **Greensboro sit-ins**. These sit-ins began in February 1960 when four African American college students sat at a segregated lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, demanding to be served. This nonviolent protest inspired similar actions across the country and significantly contributed to the desegregation of public facilities.
