I believe the answer is winning court battles against public school segregation, but ill double check.

Answer 2

The black members of the committee then prepared a further petition entitled "Demands for Racial Justice." This petition [p899] was presented for approval at the local NAACP meeting conducted on the first Tuesday evening in March. As described by the chancellor, "the approximately 500 people present voted their approval unanimously." [n23] On March 14, 1966, the petition was presented to public officials of Port Gibson and Claiborne County.

The petition included 19 specific demands. It called for the desegregation of all public schools and public facilities, the hiring of black policemen, public improvements in black residential areas, selection of blacks for jury duty, integration of bus stations so that blacks could use all facilities, and an end to verbal abuse by law enforcement officers. It stated that

Negroes are not to be addressed by terms as "boy," "girl," "shine," "uncle," or any other offensive term, but as "Mr.," "Mrs.," or "Miss," as is the case with other citizens. [n24]
