Engaging in a sit-in, in which African Americans stay at a segregated business.

Explanation: civil disobedience is a nonviolent, public, deliberate violation of unjust laws to bring about change (classic example: sit‑ins during the civil rights movement). Rioting and looting are violent/illegal criminal acts; boycotting is lawful protest, not civil disobedience.
