Secondary source excerpt (1960s civil rights): Many historians describe the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) as leveraging mass protest to create political crises that federal officials could not ignore. In Birmingham in 1963, activists used boycotts and marches knowing local authorities might respond harshly; images of police dogs and fire hoses shaped public opinion. This strategy aimed to translate local confrontations into national legislation by making segregation appear morally and politically untenable.
The protest strategy described is most closely associated with which leader?
