After looking at this video I really do appreciate some black people because they really did fight hard for freedom and they were so brave to withstand some of the white people and how badly they were being treating them. They were thrown around, sent to jail, etc. This video is inspiring for anybody to watch and learn from.
The video was about the beginning of the Civil rights movement. Students in Nashville started sit in’s at the lunch counters of white establishments. Blacks didn’t believe that segregation was fair. The mayor of Nashville eventually agreed after several boycotts that segregation wasn’t fair. I feel that some changes for blacks has to do with loss of money for businesses.
After watching this video this film showed how us blacks had fought so hard for freedom because at the beginning of this video it showed how it was a fight at the lunch counter which the blacks didn’t have any type of involvement in and the police decided to kick them out and arrest them instead which was truly unfair but the african americans were prepared for it. It’s truly sad that we have to be prepared for any type of outcome with this society. This video was very inspiring to watch because it should how us blacks didn’t give up and still til this day we won’t but it’s sad how they treated us. They went to jail so many times just to prove their freedom they went to jail for doing what was right. It’s crazy how parents how to be prepared for their kids future because of stupid jail charges.
Honestly, these black people had were so brave to do something like this. I don’t see how they stood there and let them white people do such things to them.. I wouldn’t be able to do it at all, they treated them like crap, throwing them around, treating them like they aren’t humans, it was just a lot to watch.
I agree ciara this video was a great eye opener. Seeing black people stand up for themselves and not letting white people bring them down. African americans did not give up and fought for what the believed in. White prowl did everything in their power to try to bring us black people down. I know that made white peoples sick. BlCk people not “obeying them” and doing what they wanted.
Watching this video shows how strong and determined the African American race is. We have always had to fight for what we believed in and we’ve never given up. It’s sickening to see how much injustice African Americans have had to endure over the years, but that is stopping now. Whites have always had a privileged and easy life, compared to us. They have always had everything handed to them.
Watching this video shows how strong and determined the African American race is. We have always put up a fight and fought for what we believe in. It’s sickening to see how much pain and inequality we have had to experience over the years, but that is stopping now. Whites have always been privileged and had an easy life, compared to us. They have never had to fight for anything and have had everything handed to them.
It took so much to make an impact and this video is proof of that. It’s interesting to know that people my own age and sometimes younger went on these rides. The video also did a good job of analyzing the thought process of the riders during the video. Also upon doing further research I discovered that there are still a hand full of people who went through this that are still alive.
Mannnn black people really fought for their rights. They didn’t use violence, they just showed them because it’s easy to fight someone but it’s hard to turn the other cheek. Like white people really hated black people.
This video has had a great impact on me. Seeing black people stand up for themselves and not let white people get them down. They fought hard to get to where they are. No matter what obstacles white people throw at them they always find a way to make it out. I know that had to make the white people mad. They can’t keep us down.
As a race I feel as though we were built to fight and preserver. We’ve been fighting for generations. It’s upsetting to see how much we’ve endured, but we’re not stopping now.
This video was really interesting and informing it explains how hard blacks had it back then. And how carelessly whites showed that they didn’t care how human a black person was. I love how blacks stood up for themselves back then and now.
The film had a major impact on me because it showed me how much african americans fought for their freedom regardless of what others threw at them. They sacrificed so much for not only themselves but for generations to come. So many people where activists during this time who paved the way for decades to come. It makes me feel proud to be african american. Knowing we never backed down and demanded to be treated equally.
Just knowing how much African Americans fought for their freedom and fought for their voice really opens my eyes to how much it really takes to be a proud African American. Watching this film really showed me how hard it was for African Americans to just live peacefully during these times. To be completely honest it gives me a sense of pride and happiest just knowing how far we have truly come. It also blows my mind how much the African Americans really tried to desegregate and become united in peace but no matter what they did it was beaten by best effort, but that doesn’t mean they were done trying.
I agree with the feeling of pride of being an African American. It’s as if we fought for everything we have, when all the white people did was just take and try to tell us what to do. It’s amazing to see how our people didn’t back down and just continued to fight. They didn’t allow being placed in jail and all other obstacles stop them.
This video was very inspiring knowing that blacks did not give up, but also frustrating seeing how they were treated. Even when they were in jail, they refused to listen to what authorities had to say so they could be heard. All African Americans wanted was desegregate and they tried everything in their power to peacefully get that done. Hearing people’s stories who’ve lived during that time helps gather more knowledge and hear the real things that happened. I was saddened by the part when the man asked his mom the difference between the water fountains and there was literally no difference besides the blacks couldn’t use the whites.
Wow the impact this film had on me was very eye-opening. Yes I have been educated previously about prominent black leaders in the sixties, Martin Luther King Jr, CT. Vivian, and other SNCC AND SCLC members but it was not as detailed as this documentary had. Also I think this documentary showed the narrative of the people who helped shaped this country. Jon Lewis, Stokely Carmichael and many others, it’s just amazing to me how much resilience and patience they had enduring the brutality they faced during sit-ins, marches etc.
It’s so mind blowing to know that blacks really put up a fight and stood up for themselves every chance they got. White people feel too entitled and I’ll never understand. It’s amazing how blacks were able to handle these circumstances and deal with them properly. I know this had to get under the white people skin everyday. How can you hate someone you don’t even know based off their skin color.
This also took a slight toll on me. It was really eye opening how they would fight for themselves and their respect. And whites do feel very entitled. To be completely honest they still feel entitled to say or do as they please and its honestly just sad
My main takeaway from this video was the examples of bravery and heroic actions. From the students refusing to move, the Freedom Ride, and even some select actions taken by the federal government I saw progressive moves taken to work towards what is right. During the Freedom Ride specifically it is extremely powerful to look at the individuals who knew they were in extreme danger yet still wanted to push the ticker forward in terms of civil rights. On each leg of the bus trips the riders did not know who would meet them at their next stop, but could anticipate mobs of people ready to fight. The stories how difficult it was to get protection from state leaders is painful to hear because actions could have been taken to put those individuals in less danger.
In the video it was brave of those students to do the sit in and remain non violent with all the disrespect and torture. I respect how much the continue to fight and how they even push the community to fight by hurting them financially. They knew if they stood together and continue to fight their would be and change.
To this day I find it funny that you can get arrested for peacefully doing what is right, although nowadays it can be a tad bit more corrupted and twisted sadly to say. Watching this video, makes me think that if other’s of our time watched this and learned how to peacefully repress their anger the world may be a better place. Nonetheless this video shows us of a different time and era where things were simple and things were done with a morally shared motive on an united front with no excuses for anything out line. The urgency expressed in this video is something that may missed in the world today where everyone is so frightened and acting out of character.
After watching this video it gives me so much information about segregation. It was very interesting to hear the stories about segregation. The part that interested me was how they did anything they could to desegregate, they did counter sit ins and bus rides which was necessary. The students went to jail simply because they were fighting for desegregation which is not right. The part that made me upset was that black students were being attacked and blacks who were downtown was randomly attacked.
It is saddening to see how African Americans were treated during this time and is continuously shocking to see and hear it from those who’ve endured it.
I liked how the John lewis Angela Butler and Dianne Nishe lead people to the sit in and how they had it organized as well. no matter how many times the police arrested the black folks that was sitting down at the diner. A new wave of people to sit in. They were very determined to get their message across that there were as equal as white people. I also was intrigued by Jim Swerve, a white man who got off in front of the bus with black folks behind so he could take the heat from the mob that was waiting outside the bus for them. he stood up for what he believed even tho the mob pulled him into the crowd.

I understand that but at the end of the day they reclaimed so much
