How did each of those work out for the slaves?

Well, for some of them, pretty darned well. A lot better than for their slaveowners, at least.
Anyway, I'm not sure what your point is. Mine was that a lot happened before the 1960s, and much of it wasn't pretty.

Actually my statement (first sentence) was about the century before the 1960s, i.e., after the US Civil War when the slaves were already 'free'.

The "Civil War" really should just be renamed the "Slavery War"
What did African-Americans do when they were marginalized for a century until the Civil Rights era of the 1960s? (And still are in many ways.)
The folks you are referring to can say whatever they want: they have Fox, OANN, and Newsmax. They can set up phpBB to have online discussions. Mastodon and IRC are open source and distributed. They can rent a hall and have meetings and sign up as candidates for various political offices and put forward their platforms on Wordpress-powered sites.
They can say whatever they want on myriad of platforms. But that doesn't mean anyone else has to listen.
