Question

Correctly complete the statement to describe the development of the Southern Christian Leadership Council (SCLC) and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).(1 point)
The SCLC and the SNCC both began as peaceful movements, but
eventually grew militant.

Answer 1

The SCLC and the SNCC both began as peaceful movements, but over time, they faced increasing frustration with the slow progress of civil rights and the ongoing violence against African Americans, which led some members to adopt more militant tactics in their strategies for achieving social change. While the SCLC remained primarily committed to nonviolent protest, factions within the SNCC began to embrace a more confrontational approach, particularly in response to systemic racism and civil rights abuses.
