If you had been a young African American in the mid-1960s, which organization would you have joined: Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), Black Panthers, or Student Non-
violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)? Why?
Membership in these organizations might have been based on that organization's approach to gaining civil rights for African Americans: the SCLC supported nonviolent direct action; the NAACP pursued legal judgments through the courts; SNCC took a more militant approach to protest and permitted its participants to respond in kind to white racial violence; the Black Panthers were committed to black separatism and Black Power, and they were willing to use violence to attain their ends.
