As a principal organization of the Civil Rights Movement, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) championed the use of nonviolent direct action to end legal and social discrimination against African Americans.
SCLC then continued to organize demonstrations in 1964 in St. Augustine, Florida, and in 1965 in Selma, Alabama. The campaign in Selma led to President Lyndon Johnsonâs support for the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
