Answer 2

Answer:

B)

Explanation:

Young people conducted nonviolent direct action movements against segregation and prejudice. They took part in sit-ins, Freedom Rides, the 1963 March on Washington, and voter education initiatives such as Mississippi Freedom Summer, among other things. It was created to offer younger Black people a voice in the civil rights struggle. A more extreme offshoot emerged soon after.
