A. voter registration drives targeting African Americans

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) placed a strong emphasis on voter registration drives, particularly targeting African Americans in the South to increase their political power and participation. This focus was not as prominent in the early strategic efforts of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which concentrated more on nonviolent protests and marches against segregation and discrimination.
