stomp out racism- by dah s swizzles
intro
civil rights however, are still being broken today, so there is still a lot of work. the movement helped us open our eyes. now its up to us to see, to change what we see, and to make sure that nothing like this happens again.
tactics and strategies
there would be sit ins. sit ins are when the protesters would walk into a white establishment and wait until they get service or their point bis heard. there would also be boycotts. boycotts where a means of protest in which the protesters would refrain from a certain service or good in order to make their point.
such as when public transportation was boycotted by African american protesters because of the unfair double standards held. the boycott cost the company money and showed that African Americans were serious. by not engaging in violence they shed light on the fact that racism was the threat rather then they themselves.
