The sit-ins were largely unplanned and carried out by college students who wanted to take direct action against segregation. Older, established civil rights leaders had not been involved and, indeed, knew nothing of it until after the fact. They struggled to decide how to respond, and many were unhappy with the new development. Martin Luther King Jr. was exception in this regard, seeing the sit-ins as a way to confront segregation nonviolently and directly.
