The SCLC objected to SNCC's tactics and methods because they thought that SNCC was too radical and disrupted race relations. SNCC's approach of nonviolent direct action was perceived as too confrontational and threatening to the white power structure. The SCLC leaders, who were more moderate and focused on working through established channels of power, found SNCC's actions disruptive and counterproductive to their goals.
