Explanation:

Identify the Greensboro sit-in location

The first question asks for the town where four African American students sat at a segregated lunch counter, starting a nationwide protest. On February 1, 1960, four students from North Carolina A&T State University sat at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. This action sparked a massive sit-in movement across the South.

Identify the 1964 Mississippi voter registration drive

The second question asks for the name of the 1964 effort to register African American voters in Mississippi. This campaign was known as Freedom Summer (also called the Mississippi Summer Project). It was organized by civil rights groups like COFO and SNCC to increase voter registration and establish Freedom Schools.
