南方基督教领袖会议(Southern Christian Leadership Conference;SCLC)是一个非裔美国人民权组织,总部位于美国喬治亞州亚特兰大。其第一任主席是马丁·路德·金,在美国非裔美國人民權運動中发挥了重要作用。[1]
历史
1957年1月10日,在聯合抵制蒙哥馬利公車運動胜利后,马丁·路德·金与贝亚德·鲁斯汀、埃拉·贝克等人邀请约60名黑人牧师和领袖到亚特兰大的埃比尼泽教堂集会[2]。1月11日,一群人举行首次会议,并在当天举行新闻发布会公布名称“Southern Negro Leaders Conference on Transportation and Nonviolent Integration”。
2月15日,组织在新奥尔良举行会议,改名“Negro Leaders Conference on Nonviolent Integration”,不久改名“Southern Negro Leaders Conference”[3]。金担任主席[4]。1957年8月举行的第三次会议上,该组织决定定为现名,将其关注范围从公共汽车扩展到一切形式的种族隔离[5]。
主席
评价
该组织号召人们通过公民不服從、抵制和游行等方法达成目标,因此一般认为比全国有色人种协进会更激进,后者通过诉讼、立法游说和教育活动达成目的。但它不如种族平等大会或学生非暴力协调委员会激进。[7]
