When the student nonviolent coordination committee first formed in 1960,
it did not promote aggressive action.
it was centered around black power.
it was considered a militant group.
it was led by huey newton.

The correct answer is: "it did not promote aggressive action".

The Student Nonviolent Coordination Committee was one of the major organizations during the Civil Right Movements and it emerged in 1960 after the wave of sit-ins and other nonviolent disobendience actions in which the student communities were participating.

They got involved with the Voter Education Project in Southern States, participated in the freedom rides against segregation in public facilities, they participated in the 1963 March on Washington and, in general, they conducted direct actions all over the country.

Subsequently, the arrival of more fierce leaders promoted more aggresive actions within the movement.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
