The power of Black people United is amazing and we love to see it. After a while, people just get tired of the the treatment. I applaud these protesters because I don’t think I could hold back too long.
It is so hard to say, but African Americans have never been treated equally as whites. We have always been a target and we’ve always had to fight for everything we have. It’s just so hard to watch because this has been going on for decades, even today we still have to fight because the hate for African Americans are so strong.
The things in this video are still currently happening in the world, African Americans fight everyday to have the same privileges as others even though we shouldn’t have to keep fighting.
Black people fight so hard for change. We literally will sit outside protesting all day just to make a difference, and convince a company to change their ways. Meanwhile, white people are against change.
This video touched on a lot of things that are still happening today. At the beginning of the video, it shows young black teenagers peacefully sitting down and at the time white people were so afraid for a black person to be on the same level as them they arrested them and attacked them. the same things are going on today, once we are tired of being treated unfairly and we protest peacefully, we are in the wrong or we’re crazy. It is crazy to think that the same things my grandparents went through, I still have to fight for it today.
I’m encouraged and excited to know that student movements and protests have started long before today. However I am disappointed that we still have to have these protests so many years later. It just seems like white people and change are antonyms of each other. Their idea of change is the one that doesn’t effect their children and allows them to go to sleep at night, even if that means social injustice of another race
I can confidently say without and remorse that one thing the POC are gonna do and specifically African Americans is step when it comes to standing up for what they know and believe is right regardless of any penalties they may face. It’s more than just fighting for the present they are also fighting for a better tomorrow.
After watching this video I agree with the protesters and really like the fact that it was a non violence approach. We fought for change and wasn’t afraid of what could happen t them . So much hatred the whites are sacred for a change
One thing we as black people are gonna do is stand firm in our beliefs and fight for what we believe in no matter the negative consequences. They wanted better for future generations of black Americans
It is sad how they treated them in that restaurant and how they were so afraid of change only because they wanted to remain superior. Its a good thing that the students chose not to used violence. This student movement reminds me a little of the student movements that happened in Soweto, South Africa in 1976 its just that this one had less violence compared to the protests in Soweto. These students were very brave and they knew what they were getting into. Like one of them said, they were prepaid and they knew not to fight back. White people really hated the civil rights movement. Brave and strong children.
I love the fact they stood up and was not afraid to get arrested. They were being trained because they new what was going to happened. They were not thinking of themselves when they were being arrested, but rather the future generations of African Americans.
I love how they fought for change and wasn’t afraid of most consequences. The fact that whites are so scared to change things and make things equal shows a lot about people. After watching this video I agree with the protesters and love the non violence approach.
Student movements like these shined a bright camera light on the discrimination practices. You could say that these brave non-voilent protests have influenced the ones today, especially now since everyone has a camera ready to expose the same discrimination.
I love how they stood up for themselves and wanted to make a change for what they wanted. As other stated it is crazy how white people are afraid of change. For the protesters to have courage like that even though their could be serious consequences for trying to make a change always is wonderful.
What is so shocking to me is that the arguments made by the governor of Alabama and others as to why they could not protect these freedom riders are the same arguments made TODAY by conservatives when talking about Black Lives Matter protesters.
Go back and listen to 31:33 and then go and listen to Trump speaking about the recent BLM protest or people kneeling during the national anthem and you will find the exact same rhetoric being used.
After watching this I agree and support how the students and protestors protested especially with non-violence. Change needed to be made back then just like change needs to still be made today.
The protestors of this era have incredible courage. I would not be doing any sit-ins, or marches. I do not have the constitution for passive resistence, but this is why the protestors of the civil rights era were amazing. Im curious to see if todays modern cvivil rights can achieve social equality through pssive resistance and non violent means.
It’s sad that even today we are not protected by the ones who swore to protect and serve, all because of the color of our skin. Protesters today who are peacefully protesting are being shot at, beaten, and arrested just as our grandparents, great-grands and great-great grands have before us all for the sake of equality.
Once again, I’m here for it. so proud of the young students that stood for what they believed and refrained from violence even when others were violent toward them. The white people were more afraid of equality then change, they just couldn’t see themselves along side a black person, which is still the same as of today.
It’s sad to see that the whites were afraid of change and still as of today they’re afraid of change. I believe that they’re afraid that blacks would become better than them due to the fact that many things in the world were created and invented by black people. They don’t want to see black people with freedom which is crazy to me.
I enjoying seeing the videos of the people coming together for what they believe in no matter the race the freedom riders went out knowing what could happen to them but kept going even after bus being destroyed and people being beaten
The civil acts movement was such a big thing in America that fellow white people hated it , most were fighting against them and meanwhile the rest voided it . They don’t want a change , they want to stay with the same old same thing . Only freedom for them and not the African Americans. Not anymore , it has to come to an end.
The laws the govern the world today all stem from the same oppressive system that govern the images we see. It is appalling the extent that the majority of the white community would go through in order to maintain racial dominance.
its crazy how the whites was so afraid of change just because how they grew up from what the first white guy said. And i love how they did the sit ins but the whites was so scared that worked to drop so many dishes.
The impact that the sit ins made speaks for itself because those students held their ground by not reacting to the violence that was being thrown at them. This triggered many White people because they wanted any reason to try to allow the African American students to strike back but they didn’t. They were even more upset when white students joined the black students during the sit ins.
