Sure, so the 20thC civil rights movement had a heavy non-violent protest foundation due to CR leaders such as Dr.King calling on communities to have sit-in protests, boycotts, ect. This non-violent method served as similar foundation for so many other CR movements such as Vietnam war protests (voting age), gay rights (don’t ask don’t tell), ect.

Answer:

he civil rights movement was a political struggle led by Black Americans to gain full citizenship rights and for racial equality. After Martin Luther King's speech, in the early 1950s, Black Americans organized the movement with events such as non/violent protests, sit inns and boycotting. The first significant development of the Civil Rights Movement, came when the Supreme Court overturned the verdict reached in the Plessy vs. Fergusson trial of 1896. The landmark decision Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the "separate but equal" doctrine was overturned when a unanimous Supreme Court ruled that segregating children by race in public schools was "inherently unequal" and violated the Fourteenth Amendment.
