Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Civil disobedience, such as sit-ins, boycotts, and other nonviolent protests, were used as a means to achieve equality for Blacks during and after World War II. This approach was embraced by leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and helped to bring attention to the injustices faced by African Americans. While some Black Americans did turn to violent resistance or militancy activism, these approaches were not embraced by the mainstream civil rights movement. Racial profiling, a practice used by law enforcement to target individuals based on their race, was not used by the civil rights movement as a means to achieve equality.
