Civil Rights and Liberties — Test

Question 11 • US History

Which are examples of strategies used to win civil rights in the South in the 1960s? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
holding violent protest marches
B
jailing white supremacists
C
organizing sit-ins at lunch counters
D
moving to other parts of the country
E
hosting public gatherings
F
marching from one city to another

Explanation

Civil rights activists used nonviolent direct action and public demonstrations to challenge segregation and demand equal rights. Sit-ins at lunch counters protested segregated service, public gatherings helped organize and build support, and marches between cities drew attention to discrimination. Violent marches were not the movement’s strategy, and activists did not generally rely on moving away or jailing white supremacists.
