To combine in abstaining from, or preventing dealings with, as a means of intimidation or coercion: to abstain from buying or using.
- Montgomery Bus Boycott: Political and social protest campaign against the policy of racial segregation on the public transit system.
- This was successful because of the large impact it had on the bus system. When most of the people that rode the buses were black the Montgomery Bus Boycott made a huge difference. Buses lost so much business, it affected them and sooner or later they would have probably lost their businesses.

Sitting down in a public place refusing to leave, causing businesses to lose customers.
Sit ins were a big deal because they made places lose consumers if they were a big enough deal. No one would serve them and they would sit there waiting. Whites would try to get them to move anyway possible like: throwing hot coffee on them, pushing them around, throwing them on the ground, treating them like they were a nobody. Through all of this "blacks" would respond in a non-violent way and look like the bigger person.

NON- violent refusal to obey a law that the protester considers to be unjust. Examples are Freedom Riders: civil rights activist who rode buses through the south in the early 1960's to challenge segregation. Goals: call attention to South's refusal to abandon segregation, and pressure federal government to enforce supreme court's desegregation rulings.
Marching along a street was never easy there was always things to go through. People mad at them throwing things at them and beating them. They did these marches to prove a point just like March on Washington. March on Washington's goal was to spur passage for civil rights bill. Also Freedom Summer: campaign to register black voters in Mississippi and push for passage of voting rights act. This was successful because of the impact it had on people walking and watching the walk.
Using any means of unnecessary violence to promote "Black Power" and black nationalism by taking up arms. Method did not work as well because it made black people look just as bad as everyone else thought they were.

The most effective one is Boycotts in my option. Without violence is the answer. You will not look like the bad guy or get charged with anything. you were not doing anything wrong, making the other person who beats the African Americans look bad and yet still they got nothing.
