Compare and contrast the use of civil disobedience and litigation during the civil rights movement. Which was more successful and why?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:
1, Compare nonviolent resistance and litigation, noting that both were techniques successfully used to advance the civil rights movement.
2, Contrast nonviolent resistance and litigation, noting that nonviolent resistance entails breaking the law, while litigation entails using the law.
3, Make an argument that either nonviolent resistance or litigation was a more successful strategy during the civil rights movement. Nonviolent resistance led to public uproar in the North over discriminatory and segregationist laws in the South. This eventually led Congress to enact the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. Litigation, however, brought down Jim Crow laws (Brown v.Board of Education) without using young people as human targets, as often occurred during nonviolent resistance events.
