When it first formed in 1960, the Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee

When SNCC formed in 1960, it supported nonviolent protest and direct action to challenge segregation. The organization became associated with Black Power later, so that was not its founding idea. Huey Newton founded the Black Panther Party, not SNCC. Therefore, the correct choice is “did not promote the use of aggressive action.”
