Freedom Riders, Sit-ins, and Non-Violent Protest

“The courageous Freedom Riders won’t ever be the same,” wrote a newspaper journalist in “They left Washington, D.C., in good spirits with high hopes in their country and fellow men. But the beatings, the tensions, the shots, the depth of the hating, the open lawlessness took its toll. It will be a miracle if all their physical and psychological wounds ever heal. The Deep South was that tough.”

What’s happening in this photo? Can you predict what happened before this? What happened after?

So…..could you still be a freedom rider?

Student Protests and Sit ins SNCC- “Snick” Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee Raleigh, NC College students on a mission Sit-ins Sat down at segregated lunch counters and ask to be served. Why could this be successful?

The Woolworth Lunch Counter WHEN: Feb. 1, 1960, WHO: Four students, WHERE: Greensboro, NC Students of the SNCC at NC Agricultural and Technical College staged a sit-in at a whites only counter in the Woolworth lunch counter Little did they know, this would be the most famous sit-in in history. Televised for all to see—showed the struggle, intensity, and force of the Civil Rights Movement Reporters captured the violence and racism of white reactions: beatings, slurs, pouring food on the students

Bloody Sunday

Plan to march from Selma to Montgomery. The first march: 600 people Over the Selma bridge… Led by SNCC and SCLC MLK Jr. Sheriff orders males over 21 to report to be deputized. Meet marchers—nightsticks, tear gas, men on horseback.

What do you see here? What is significant about this picture? Who looks the strongest in this photo?

The Power in Non-Violence

FIRE HOSES ARE USED WEAPON AS A WEAPON

What do we do? The police are meant to be people that protect you…and they’re not… Who do you have left to turn to? How does this affect the Civil Rights Movement? Is nonviolent protest an effective means of a “fight”?
