Two Major Things That Made the Civil Rights Movement Successful
![Page 8: The Civil Rights Movement chapter 21, sections 1, 2, and 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/568134c9550346895d9bf150/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• SNCC (Student Non-violent Coor. Comm.)– Formed by students who felt the SCLC did not meet the
needs of young blacks (particularly students)
![Page 9: The Civil Rights Movement chapter 21, sections 1, 2, and 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/568134c9550346895d9bf150/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Non-violence – No matter what happened to you, you would not react to your aggressor. This technique showed the hatefulness and aggression of the segregationists.
![Page 10: The Civil Rights Movement chapter 21, sections 1, 2, and 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/568134c9550346895d9bf150/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Sit-ins and Boycotts – both were very effective forms of non-violent protest used by the SCLC and SNCC.
![Page 11: The Civil Rights Movement chapter 21, sections 1, 2, and 3](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062720/568134c9550346895d9bf150/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
