We have talked about many things in class that deal with the Civil Rights movement, MLK, and many other influential people. We have watched a couple videos that deal with this, as well as, having many discussions in class about the videos. The Civil Rights movement was one of the largest events in this country's history. It took many years of nonviolent fighting and hardship. They took beating after beating, but they still kept fighting nonviolently. I think what they did was incredible.
The student Sit-Ins, I feel, was a major role in the movement. I like this act because I can relate to it because it was my age group doing the Sit-Ins. The way they set it up, so every time someone got arrested for non moving another would step right in and take their spot, was ingenious. Students play a major role in any movement. This is because the students have a lot of will power and the will to fight for what they want and believe. They have nothing to loose yet. I have and will protest for something I want or believe in. As a young citizen/student I feel I have a large impact on society because my age group will soon be the future. So what we do now, we will live with when we're older.
