		+	In October 1962 [[Bill Hansen]] announced an imminent sit-in at the [[Woolworth's]] lunch counter on Main Street. [[Little Rock Unlimited Progress]] director [[Willard A. Hawkins]], faced with ongoing protests, announced that the Chamber of Commerce was creating a special [[Downtown Negotiating Committee]] to address the problem. [[Worthen Bank]] president [[James Penick]] agreed to serve as the chair of this negotiating committee. The committee agreed that downtown businesses must desegregate by January 1, 1963. Apparently unaware of the decision or the deadline or concerned about the strength of promises made, local students launched a sit-in at lunch counters on December 1, 1963. Lunch counters were desegregated on January 1, 1963.
