Sit-ins and Desegregation in the U.S. South in the Early 1960s (ICPSR 35630)
Released/updated on: 2015-05-08
Geographic coverage: Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia, Virginia, Maryland
Time period: 1960-01-01--1961-12-31
This study examines the causes and consequences of sit-ins in the American South. It was motivated by four questions: (1) Why did sit-ins occur in some cities rather than others in the spring of 1960? (2) Did movement organizations grow faster where sit-ins occurred? (3) Why did desegregation occur in some cities but not others in 1960-1961? (4) Was desegregation more likely where sit-ins occurred? To answer these questions, data was collected on cities in the states of the former Confederacy plus Maryland, Kentucky, and West Virginia. All urban places with a population of at least 10,000 and a Black population of at least 1,000 are included. These provide the 334 observations. Variables include dates of sit-in protest and of the desegregation of lunch counters, social and economic characteristics from the 1960 Census, geographical location, Civil Rights organizations, newspaper circulation, and athletic affiliations of Black colleges.
