Question

Why were students better able than adults to organize and protest

Answer 1

The students who marched at Selma were better prepared in a sense that unlike their adult counterparts, they were already briefed on what to expect when this march began.  Youth was also their biggest asset as they were energized and determined to promote the civil rights movement in the South. Even before the march, they were already veterans of other movements for equal rights.
