What new direction did civil rights leaders take in the mid-1960s? how was this , and how was this a problem?

Civil rights leaders embarked on peaceful marches,boycotts and civil disobedience to challenge the Jim crow laws that had subjected African-Americans to approximately a century of oppression,segregation and inequality. the civil movement message also focused on integration rather than separation,a paradigm shift from the past. 
By focusing on integration and peaceful methods of protests such as civil disobedience, the movement was successful as it did not break laws thus enticing the radical establishment into a tough spot. The plights that were met on civil rights leaders such MLK and others served to make several Americans and leaders to identify with the course.
