Many white people were active supporters of the civil rights movement, particularly the non-violent movement led by Dr. King. Whites often marched with African Americans. The two main groups of whites that supported the movement were young people and religious leaders. Many whites volunteered to work in the south working to register African American voters. In 1964 two whites were killed with their African-American colleague while working the registration drive in Mississippi by law enforcement. Southern whites viewed whites who supported the movement as race traitors. I am less knowledgeable about reactions toward the more radical movements led by Malcolm X or Stokey Carmichael.
