Assess the early civil rights movement’s tactic of nonviolent civil disobedience. Is that form of protest acceptable to you? Why? Was it the best action for African Americans to take in the 1950? Why?

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER
Nonviolent civil disobedience was likely the best means available for civil rights advocates in the 1950s. It enabled them to use the growing power of television to project the hate and violence of racism into northern and middle class homes. Scenes of nonviolent civil rights workers becoming victims of unmerited violence by white racists evoked sympathy and demands for justice from an ever growing number of Americans and their political leaders.
