The Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) is a civil rights organization founded jointly by white and black opponents of racial segregation in 1942 , which used sit-in strikes as a means of protest as early as the 1940s . CORE was one of the most active civil rights movements in the 1960s, along with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
