Examine the tactics and successes of African-American civil rights organizations up to 1965.

The question requires that candidates consider the interrelationship between the tactics and successes of African American civil rights organizations up to 1965. Candidates may offer equal coverage of tactics and successes or they may prioritize their examination of successes. However, both aspects will be a feature of the response. Candidates may refer to several African American civil rights organizations, such as CORE, NAACP, SCLC and SNCC. Tactics could be court case challenges to segregation, economic boycotts, forced school integration, sit-ins, interstate bus rides, marches and voter registration drives. Specific examples for successes could be Brown v. Board of Education, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Little Rock, Greensboro sit-ins and the March on Washington. Less successful examples could be the Freedom Rides, marches in Albany and Selma, and many school districts that closed rather than integrate. While other relevant interrelationships, such as tactics and leadership, may be considered, the bulk of the response will remain on that raised in the question.
