nonviolent demonstrations leading to the civil rights and voting rights acts was because of events like the children’s march, the demonstrations in Birmingham that got Martin Luther King arrested. The various events that occurred with freedom writers who challenge separate but equal segregation laws. The freedom fighters were teams of African-American and white volunteers, who wrote the southbound interstate buses that were racially, segregated and white only. Soon resulting in bloody Sunday it was a freedom march in Selma protesters were beaten on television, leaving 70 marchers and hospitals and 70 others injured. Or university further brought attention to the lack of equal rights and justice towards African-Americans, which ultimately convince President Kennedy to close the civil rights act of 1964.
