Led by Martin Luther King Jr., James Bevel, Fred Shuttlesworth and others, the campaign of nonviolent direct action culminated in widely publicized confrontations between young black students and white civic authorities, and eventually led the municipal government to change the city's discrimination laws. icampb4169 https://padlet.com/icampb4169/5hgr27nx89df/wish/160292690 2017-03-15 15:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/icampb4169/5hgr27nx89df/wish/160292690 The main strategy used was non violence.

This resulted in over a thousand arrests and when the jails and holding areas started to fill up they used high pressure water hoses and attack dogs on the children and adult bystanders.

Also it effected the police because they were forced to arrest many children and use harsh tactics to deal with the peaceful protests.]]> 2017-03-15 15:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/icampb4169/5hgr27nx89df/wish/160296393 Major Leader lwood4500 https://padlet.com/icampb4169/5hgr27nx89df/wish/160298811 Reverend James Bevel
