Objective: Examine the different strategies to achieve civil rights in the 1950’s and 1960’s. (PLEASE help me with this, thank you!)

There were essentialy three strategies

Judicial strategies: this consists in suing a school, person, institution, or even state, on the basis that a civil right was violated. These kind of cases often led to landmark decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court such as Brown v. Board of Education.Civil protests: This were peaceful protests, mostly led by students in the South, who demanded for civil rights such as the right of black people to enter any college that they wished.

Intellectual discusion: intellectuals like Martin Luther King, and decades before, W. Du Bois, wrote articles and books, and gave speeches where they gave arguments that supported civil rights for everyone.
