Step-by-step explanation:

It started when three young members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee—Charles Sherrod, Cordell Reagon, and Charles Jones—came to Albany for a voter-registration drive. ... and his non-violent strategies. He decided to use non-brutal methods of arresting protesters to avoid negative attention.
