1. The correct answer is:
3. they were effective and peaceful protests
Explanation: Boycotts, sit-ins, and freedom rides were important tactics used during the civil rights movement to protest racial segregation and discrimination. These protests were nonviolent and aimed at drawing public attention to the central issues of the movement, such as equal rights for African Americans. They were effective because they generated widespread attention and helped to bring about significant changes in legislation and public opinion. While there were instances of violence during the civil rights movement, the majority of boycotts, sit-ins, and freedom rides were peaceful protests.
2. The correct answer is:
D. All of the above
Explanation: Students played a significant role in the civil rights movement. They formed organizations, participated in nonviolent protests, and staged sit-ins to challenge racial segregation and advocate for equal rights. Student-led organizations such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) were instrumental in organizing and coordinating protest activities across the country. Students were actively involved in advocating for change and played a crucial role in pushing forward the civil rights movement.
3. The correct answer is:
4. an organization started by Martin Luther King Jr.
Explanation: The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was an organization started by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1957. It played a vital role in the civil rights movement, focusing on nonviolent resistance and direct action strategies. The SCLC aimed to eliminate racial segregation and discrimination through peaceful means and coordinated numerous protests, demonstrations, and boycotts to achieve its goals. The organization's efforts led to important legislation protecting the rights of African Americans and other minorities.
4. The correct answer is:
A. an organization founded by students to coordinate and publicize sit-ins and other peaceful protests
Explanation: The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) was a prominent student-led organization during the civil rights movement. It was founded in 1960 by college students who played a vital role in coordinating and publicizing sit-ins, freedom rides, and other nonviolent protests. SNCC advocated for racial equality, voter registration, and social change through peaceful means. It was an influential force in mobilizing young activists and bringing attention to the issues of racial segregation and discrimination.
5. The correct answer is:
B. Massive resistance
Explanation: Massive resistance was the name given to the movement in the southern United States that aimed to resist the desegregation efforts mandated by federal laws, particularly in the aftermath of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Rather than adhering to the new laws promoting integration, those supporting massive resistance sought to maintain segregation and defy federal authority. Massive resistance involved various tactics, including legal challenges and the closure of schools to prevent integration.
