We Ain't Scared

Young college students inspired the rest of the world with what they did. The boycotts and peaceful protest are some of the most memorable parts of black history. The way they were mistreated and still they didn't stoop to a lower level and fight back was very inspiring. The knew that what they were doing was for something greater, and that in the end the beatings and mistreatment was going to pay off.

Also, the showed the power of people in masses. They all stood for common ground, blacks and whites joined together for the first time. "...and all you could here is 4000 footsteps..." They demonstrated a way of solving conflict without war and violence. It shows that violence isn't the only problem solver in the world today. It's refreshing.

  1. I believe the same thing it is quite inspiring to hear what people our age did to change our world. I think many people do not realize there was whites that helped in the civil rights movement and that they marched in silence and it just showed how much they believed in what they were marching for.

  3. I also agree that their perseverance is very inspiring! The fact that they did not give up during horrible times like those make my everyday problems seem minuscule.
