The SCLC
by Tanner Robertson
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) is a civil rights organization that was established by Martin Luther King Jr. and other African American leaders just after the Montgomery bus boycott in 1956. The SCLC played a major roll in the Civil Rights Movement and focused on peaceful protests. The organization helped to organize the 1963 march on Washington, DC, and worked to secure voting rights for African Americans in the South.
