In 1954, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education. This was a very historic moment because their ruling eliminated the “separate but equal” doctrine. Their ruling called for school integration, even though most schools were very slow to comply, if they complied at all. The NAACP, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, considered this ruling a success. The schools' lack of obedience to this ruling made it necessary for black activism to get the federal government to enforce the ruling and possibly help close the racial gap that existed in places other than public schools. During one of the boycotts for equality, a leader emerged who would never be forgotten. Dr. Martin Luther King, leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, quickly became the spokesperson for racial equality. He believed that the civil rights movement would be more successful if blacks used nonviolent tactics. Some say he was adopting Gandhi's style. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, SCLC, was founded by King and other activists in 1957. They were a group of black ministers and activists who agreed to try to help others see the effects of a nonviolent movement. Also following the strategies established by the SCLC, a group known as SNCC or Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, began a series of sit-ins and campaigns as the black population continued its fight for equality. It was the relentless efforts of the two groups that paved the way for the March on Washington. This march, which attracted a crowd of at least 200,000 people, was where Dr. King delivered his famous "dream speech." Both SNCC and SCLC were victims of numerous threats and attempted bombings, but continued to pursue freedom in a nonviolent manner. However, by the late 1960s they had another problem on their hands. There was a group of activists known as the Black Panthers who were not so eager to adopt nonviolent rule. It was believed that the civil rights movement promoted by Dr. King and his nonviolent campaign, which was aimed at giving blacks the right to vote and eliminating segregation, was not solving the problems faced in poor black communities. This group of Black Panthers, established the term "black power", which was used as a kind of black self-esteem booster..
