Answer:

From leading local civil rights organizations to serving as lawyers on school segregation lawsuits and more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some examples include:

❤️Lonnie King : activist with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Atlanta.

❤️Ruby Nell Sales: who later overcame psychological traumas from the racial violence she witnessed in the movement, encourages us to look beyond the simplistic story of Rosa Parks refusing to move to the back of the bus in Montgomery.

❤️Rosa Parks, who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus to a white passenger on December 1, 1955.

❤️Fannie Lou Hamer : was one of the founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and deeply committed to helping African-Americans gain their voting rights.
