Definición

  • The unanimous Supreme Court decision in Garner v. Louisiana , 368 U.S. 157 (1961), voided the application of a Louisiana breach of the peace statute to peaceful sit-in demonstrations, such as those at department store lunch counters. It was the first case before the Court to deal with the constitutionality of regulations on sit-ins, an important method of protest during the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
