I'm not sure it's accurate to say that civil rights leaders "shut up" and didn't "whine". Most of their work was public issue advocacy in the form of marches, boycotts, speeches, news communication, media advocacy, op-eds, etc. I tend to think of the Birmingham Bus Boycott, the March on Washington, and the Selma March (Bloody Sunday) as probably the single most crucial acts of civil rights leaders. I'm also not sure it's accurate to say people aren't taking this law to court. In fact, they did that before the law became law. Then the Supreme Court declined to enjoin the law. Then they managed to enjoin literally this group from enforcing the law, as part of the legal process that's currently unfolding.
