The goal of the (SCLC) Southern Christian Leadership Conference is to redeem ‘the soul of America’ via a non-violent resistance. The SCLC got established in the year 1957 to coordinate the actions of local protest groups in the South. It was led by Martin Luther King, Jr. They drew on the power of independent black churches to make their activities possible. They’re committed to nonviolence movements to reach economic, social, and political justice and erase hate crimes, racial profiling, and police brutality.
