Explanation

The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) was founded in 1942 and used nonviolent direct action, including sit-ins, to challenge segregation. Its early sit-ins encouraged integration in the 1940s. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rev. Ralph Abernathy were associated with other civil rights organizations, not leadership of CORE.
