They were leading massive marches, strikes, sit ins and other protest demonstrations against entrenched US government policy against Blacks. Federal and state laws legalized discrimination against Blacks. There were separate seats for blacks and whites in buses, restaurants, cinemas etc. Separate churches for blacks who were barred from white churches. Black students were barred from studying in universities. All sanctioned by federal and state laws and enforced by the police, national guard and KKK.
Thousands of blacks were beaten, lynched, jailed, murdered etc during that period.
Bhai, i know all of that,most of those atrocities was in the South,most Northern States did not have such policies.
