Question

Why do you think it was important for African Americans to organize a peaceful protest?

Answer 1

“Through nonviolent protest, the civil right movement of the 1950’s and 60’s broke the pattern public facilities’ being segregated by “race” in the south and achieved the most important breakthrough in equal-right legislation for African Americans since the reconstruction period.” African Americans were ones who got discriminated against for a long, long time. They earned they’re right and still to this day people care about race. Bloody Monday was a very violent event and something that should not happen again today. Martin Luther king jr. really believe in nonviolence and inspired people to do the same. They have their rights and the right to use them.
