A. The violence used by segregationists against the protests was shown across the country.
B. The methods had no impact against violence.
C. The leadership of the protests disagreed with Martin Luther King Jr.
D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) The violence used by segregationists against the protests was shown across the country.

This included different incidents of police violence and violence from citizens who were trying to stop African Americans from having the same rights as white citizens. MLK's nonviolent protest strategy was meant to show that African Americans had self control and could act like "civilized" citizens. His peaceful strategy helped to cause remarkable change in the US through different laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
