Blacks tried to fight segregation in many ways like at
the ballot boxes, in the courtrooms, and through organizations like the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People. Which was founded in 1909. After the Civil Rights Act of 1883, blacks held meetings. Frederick Douglas gave speeches at large protest; he made groups like Brotherhood
of Liberty to plan legal and political action against segregation. People of black color, groups of mixed African American, and European ancestry joined together to fight segregation of trains in New Orleans. In 1905 a number of Black activists, led by W.E.B. Dubois, the first African American to receive a doctorial
degree from Harvard University, met in Niagara falls, Ontario, Canada to plan strategies to fight racial equality. By 1909 they were called the Niagara Movement, which led to the NAACP. The National Association of the Advancement of Colored People began to challenge segregation in court. Before World War 2, there were some significant victories. Guinn v. the
United States (1915), Buchanan v. Warley (1917), and Gaines v. Canada (1937) were only a few. During the World War 2 and after challenges to segregation became more and more successful. The three major factors that contributed to the Civil Rights Movement was the Great Migration, the changing nature of African American politics, and the social and cultural changes connected to war
itself.
