Abstract

The Montgomery bus boycott, the Nashville lunch counter sit-ins and the freedom rides throughout the Deep South brought increased media and political attention to the struggle. Ricks notes that the civil rights movement was largely successful because activist leaders meticulously planned their actions and protesters declined to respond to segregationist violence in kind. Pritchett's measured response forced activist leaders to reconsider their strategy, but segregationist adaptation would not be the only reason the movement would have to develop new approaches.
