The SCLC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) started by Martin Luther King Jr. was to carry on nonviolent campaign for cause against the bad of second- class citizenship. Marches and protests were made in the south in order to register African Americans to vote. African Americans and white adults protested in hopes to influence congress to pass a voting rights act. On the other hand, the SNCC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) started by African American college students wanted to speed up the changes made in the Brown v. Board of Education which resulted in “Separate but equal” caused them to start the sit- ins. Just like the marches and protests in the SCLC sit-ins was also in the south and hoped that congress could pass a voting rights act. This was also a nonviolent event caused by African Americans after a while it was a militancy and violence called “black power”.
