✅ What is the main idea of the book Freedom on the Menu The Greensboro Sit-Ins?

The main idea of the book “Freedom on the Menu: The Greensboro Sit-Ins” is to explore the historical significance of the Greensboro sit-ins in the civil rights movement.

It focuses on the nonviolent protests led by African American college students at a segregated lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960. Their experience highlights the bravery and determination of young activists and their role in sparking a wave of sit-ins across the South, ultimately leading to the desegregation of public facilities. The book also delves into the broader themes of social justice, equality, and the power of peaceful protest in effecting change.
