How many people took part in the civil rights movement?
There were many deaths that were a direct result of the Civil Rights Movement...and a tragic murders that raised awareness of the atrocities in the south, resulting in more support for the movement. The Murder of Emmitt Till shed light on the horrors of the Jim Crow south. His death sparked the Movement. The four little girls: Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertsion and Cynthia Welsley were not involved in the Movement; neither was Virgil Lamar Ware, a 13 year old boy who was killed the same day by the people involved in the bombing of the 16th st Baptist church. Although they were not involved in the movement, their deaths were a direct result of it. Besides those 6, I can think of at least another 35 other deaths directly related to the Civil Rights Movement, including John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Some of the victims were directly involved, others just random killings by segregationists who were trying to intimidate the activists.

Why was anne moody worried that a member of her family would be killed?
Anne Moody was worried that a member of her family would be killed because they had been involved in civil rights activities that attracted the attention of violent opponents, who had a history of targeting and attacking civil rights activists and their families. This fear was fueled by the Ku Klux Klan's violent activities and the pervasive racism and hostility towards African Americans in the South during the civil rights movement.
The nonviolence used by civil rights activists was a good tactic?
The nonviolence used by civil rights activists was a good tactic to highlight the violence experience by black in the south. The media would record the passive civil rights activist being harmed and the more the violence was out in the open the better for the movement. .
