The Congress of Racial Equality or CORE was founded in 1942 and fought for Civil Rights for African-Americans and was very against Jim Crow laws. They would organize in groups and non-violently protest against racism and segregation of schools and many other public places. They started in New York and worked their way down South where they would protest and push for Civil Rights. In 1960 they did a sit in at a white restaurant in which they received public and national news attention for doing. The next step was to desegregate public transport in Alabama in which the CORE members would be attacked by citizens in a manner that no human person should ever be treated. They were also involved in the March on Washington in which Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have A Dream Speech." In the late 1960s Core was against the Vietnam War and campaigned for it to stop.
