2 civil rights key events (Will)

2 Civil Rights Key Events (Will)
1: Two students from a university sat in a lunch counter and was refused service, but they start a sit in and refused to leave.

2: An African-American named Rosa Parks sat down in the colored section of a bus and refused to give up her spot to a white person, and this therefore started a boycott in that area.
