It resulted in desegregation of a lunch counter.
The Greensboro sit-in was not the first of the sit-ins, but helped to increase the national sentiment of reversing desegregation and a majority of the Woolworth's became desegregated, and this sit-in attracted lots of media attention and this started many sit-in's by students across the country. The lunch counter where the sit-in took place is now part of the Smithsonian National Museum.
