Protesting has changed, part two [View all]

I was surprised that my post yesterday generated so many recs and comments. Thanks to the DU community.

Reading the comments made me realize that my original post came from a position of privilege. I’m a white heterosexual male so I apologize for arriving so late.

The Freedom Marchers and other civil rights activists in the 1950s and 1960s were often the victims of violence. They didn’t stop and I hope to find even a bit of their courage.
