The Southern Christian Leadership Conference is one of the organizations i'm most proud of being involved in. I worked along side Martin Luther King Jr. as he was the first president of the whole organization. This organization was made in order to "coordinate and support nonviolent direct action" , basically to end segregation. It was an organization that got involved in local black communities and helped to form strategies to overcome the problems of racial segregation. It funded and sent representatives to guide or lead the various operations it supported, including protests, literacy education for blacks, and sometimes anti-poverty programs.
