During the American Civil War, some African Americans in the south managed to join the fighting by escaping from slavery and seeking refuge with Union forces or by being officially recruited into the Union Army. Many escaped slaves were willing to risk their lives to fight for their freedom and proved to be valuable assets to the Union forces. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863, further opened the door for African Americans to enlist in the Union Army.
They made groups(NAACP,SNCC ect.),did protests(sit-ins,marches ect.).and also held speeches. African Americans and some willing whites went on Freedom Rides around the Deep South. Since most of these events were televised, the people of America saw what happened when they were beaten up and hurt by the police, this also(sortof) helped because the people were shocked at how African Americans were treated.Hope this helped!
