After over a year of boycotting the busses they went to the Supreme Court to prove that it was not legal to segregate blacks from whites on public transportation.

When he became the chairman for SNCC in 66’, he pulled the organization out of the White House Conference on Civil Rights, stating that they were ignoring the real problems faced by blacks. This left other leaders of the movement questioning his tactics. Roy Wilkins director of the NAACP said that “ “Black Power” can mean in the end black death,” Carl T.
