The Atlanta Student Movement was formed in February 1960 in Atlanta by students of the campuses Atlanta University Center (AUC).[1][2] It was led by the Committee on the Appeal for Human Rights (COAHR) and was part of the Civil Rights Movement.
History On February 3, 1960, Atlanta University Center (AUC) senior, Lonnie King, read about the four young boys that started the sit-in at the Woolworth Store in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina[3] on February 1.[4] This first sit-in caused emotional fortitude and physical restraint, captured by the lenses of reporters, exposed a new generation of young adults to nonviolent direct activism.[4] The first thing that came to King's mind was panty-raids and how quickly these raids could spread from one college to another. King believed that the panty-raid theory should be applied to the Civil Rights Movement because segregation was ubiquitous.[5] Segregation was a problem that existed all over the south, not just in Greensboro. King conferred with Joseph Pierce and Julian Bond about organizing a Student Movement in the Atlanta University Center.[3][5] The three were dissatisfied with Atlanta’s slow pace for change in segregation and decided to act.[6]
