Answer 1

Many non-violent groups were active in the Civil Rights Movement in the US that aimed at bringing an end to racial discrimination. Convinced by the power of non-violence they conducted several non-violent protests. Congress of Racial Equality was founded in Chicago in 1942 and their first ever protest was in 1931 against segregation in a Chicago coffee shop.

They bravely challenged segregation in inter-state transportation and also conducted several voter registration drives. Southern Christian Leadership Conference was headed by Martin Luther King and was formed in the year 1957. Their activities were mainly based in the south.  They conducted several leadership training programs and citizen education programs.
