“Why are silence
and indifference to the suffering of the others never acceptable?”
At the start of
the unit, our teacher asked us that question and I didn’t know why; now I do.
There were many
surprising things in the Civil Rights Movement, and one of them was that many
people were willing to risk their lives just to get equal rights and just so
they wouldn’t be inferior.
There were many
bold people in the Civil Rights Movement, and an example of one was Martin
Luther King, Jr., who inspired me to have grit, and hope.
While learning
about the Civil Rights Movement I discovered and learned many new vocabulary
words such as: Grit, determined, boycott, and nonviolent.
We also watched a
movie called “42”, a movie about Jackie Robinson, the first black baseball
player to play in the MLB with white people. I learned that the thing that will
make you strong wouldn’t be that you can fight back, but that you have the guts
NOT to fight back.
