They used non-violent mass demonstration and protest, modelled on the methods of Mahatma Gandhi . One early campaign was the "sit-in" in Greensboro, NC, where people went in and sat at lunch counters that were supposed to be for "whites only." They did not fight back, despite being bullied and beaten, but they would not leave.

Also well-known are the "freedom-riders" who refused to sit in the back of the bus as black people were expected to do. Rosa Parks is the brave lady who accidentally started this tactic when she was just too tired to stand whilst there were empty seats in the "wrong" part of the bus.

School children played their part by going to "white" schools and having to pass through hostile and often violent crowds.

We marched, prayed, boycotted, rallied, educated ourselves...It should be also noted that there were white people involved in this struggle that helped along the way.
