Which are correct:

- "was led by Martin Luther King Jr." — False. CORE (Congress of Racial Equality) was founded in 1942 and was led by activists such as James Farmer, not MLK. Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader of the SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference).

- "used boycotts in the 1960s to achieve integration." — True. In the 1960s CORE used a variety of nonviolent direct-action tactics (Freedom Rides, marches, and some consumer boycotts) to press for desegregation and civil rights.

- "used sit-ins in the 1940s to encourage integration." — True. CORE organized early sit-ins and other nonviolent protests in the 1940s as part of its strategy to challenge segregation.

- "was led by Rev. Ralph Abernathy." — False. Ralph Abernathy was a leader of the SCLC and a close associate of MLK, not the leader of CORE.
