On February 1, 1960, four young men from NCAT university sat at the counter in Woolworth's department store and asked for coffee and a doughnut. They were refused service and asked by the management to leave. The photograph that appeared of them in the newspaper the next day quickly became global news. Less than a week later, 1000 people protested at Woolworths and other local stores and the movement rapidly spread. Six months on, Woolworths integrated its counter service.
