    1. The freedom Fighters were a group of activists that advocated for the Establishment of the segregation law in united states. At that time, they have to constantly face threats from supporter of the segregation.

    They anticipate it by predicting the amount of segregationist by counting the amount of segregated establishments in the area of the protest. For example, the more school, public restroom, or restaurant exist in a certain area, the number of violent response that they've might got in that area will also increase.

    After creating the prediction, they asked support from the national guard to concentrate their protection in that specific area.

    2. They used the violent response as a tool to bring awareness to the public.

    At that time, the majority of the people had a neutral opinion toward the segregation. They're neither support or condemn it.

    Violent attacks from the supporters of the segregation show the true nature of the supporters of this law. This made the public opinion toward the freedom fighters became positive and eventually their movement kept getting bigger.

    All of this led to the creation of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 which made segregation became illegal in United States
