Answer 2

Answer:

The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) is an African-American civil rights organization that, during its first years in the mid-1900s, played an important role in the civil rights movement in the United States, then with Martin Luther King, Jr. as leader.

Today, the SCLC is a non-profit organization that works for increased social, economic and political justice on non-sectarian, inter-religious backgrounds.

SCLC was formed in 1957 following the success of the African civil rights movement with the Montgomery bus boycott. On January 10, 1957, Martin Luther King, who together with Rosa Parks headed the boycott, invited some 60 black priests and activists to a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose at that time was to abolish the racial segregation of buses in the southern states, agreeing only to prostate and work for change with non-violent methods.
