Argument Against Nonviolence

They arranged this rally to protest the several workers that were killed by the police the day before. Later on in the rally the police showed up at the Haymarket square to get rid of the rally. Once they started to come closer to the workers a person within the crowd threw a pipe bomb(to this day he is still unidentified). The police and also some members of the crowd opened fire and chaos broke out. Seven police officers and at least one civilian died as a result of the violence that day, and an untold number of other people were

Next in the movie we see the first march in Selma to the courthouse protesting against voting discrimination. The courthouse march led to King being arrested along with a lot of other marchers. Months later we see another protest, which heads violent resulting in a death in the end. After a heated discussion with Johnson, King decides to organize a march from Selma to Montgomery fighting for some change, but King isn’t able to participate in the march due to problems with his marriage. This march will become known as Bloody Sunday...because of the violent attack that took place on blacks by the police (Wallenfeldt).

Additionally, Jones built high levels of political power by having his members ready to mobilize, by the hundreds, to attend the rallies, a politician’s dream. However, his paranoia regarding the government trying to destroy the church, and assassinate him, grew and when his San Francisco temple burned, he began to build a new compound in Guyana, to flee the oppression and racism that had a hold of the United States. Finally, as the walls were on the verge of crumbling around him, in the form the expected release of an article, Jones and numerous of his followers escaped to

They went on strike because they had enough and they refused to put up with it anymore. King then made a speech and said “We’ve got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end”. What he meant by this was that they cannot give up and if they want change they have to stand up for it. King also believed in a promise land and his goal was to get to the promise land, but he

What happened on 31 January 1968? 31 January 1968, 70,000 North Vietnamese and Vietcong forces launched attacks on more than 100 towns in South Vietnam. This attack went against the two-day ceasefire, which both sides had vowed to observe around Tet – the Vietnamese Lunar New. The Vietcong soldiers stormed the towns

This shows how not only did the Vietnam War normalize the concept of opposing an American War, but that these opinions can extend to the very citizens who participated in it (TextBook). The climax of this event would be in 1971, where over 800 vets threw their medals at the Capitol Building, symbolizing how they felt betrayed and used by the government (New York Times). This trend can be seen in many other protests to come, especially the Iraq War. Just as with the Vietnam War, the Iraq War received much criticism for unethical strategies, poor/deceptive government communication, and also had a movement by Veterans to end the war. The Iraq War Veterans Against the War, or IVAW, which was formed in 2004, is a political movement inspired by the Anti-War movement before it, which hopes to increase

The curfew law was put into place after the complaints and the youth became outraged. They believed their civil right were being taken away.

They are referring to children because these protests were from the younger generation.

It was a revolution focused around Petrograd, now called Saint Petersburg. During that time, chaos started when demonstrators hassled onto the streets protesting for a break yelling “Down with the autocracy!" Supported by industrial workers, they charged against the police attacking everything and everyone against them. Within the next two days, the strike spread along other streets and the violence increased, destroying other police stations. This caused the soldiers of Petrograd to open fire on demonstrators killing many men.

Gettysburg isn 't the only instance of the movie inaccurately displaying racial tensions. In the film, the Titans find themselves in a mob of mass hysteria after returning from camp. On the first day of school, a violent crowd of white people protests outside the school carrying signs with phrases such as "Alexandria parents against busing," "We love our kids, we hate busing," etc. As buses pull in, police force the enraged crowd back, many of whom are attempting to get past them and storm the buses. Meanwhile, the Titans meet up for the first time since training camp and take in the horrific scene in front of them.

Almost immediately, the rides were met with opposition as they began their journey into the southern states, with the first attacks on riders coming in Rock Hill, California. The riders however, undaunted by the growing opposition facing them, continued on to Alabama, where on May 14th they experienced more extreme hostilities. Riders in Anniston stopped to change their tyres, which were slashed at the city’s bus station, when their bus was firebombed and burnt before the riders were brutally beaten by a mob of almost 200 people . The riders in Birmingham also received brutal treatment from an angry mob, armed with metal pipes, however Police Chief Bull Connor stated that, although he knew the Freedom Riders were arriving and violence awaited them, he posted no police

The Freedom Riders left Birmingham that Saturday on, May 20, they had been promised police protection, but after ninety miles from the city limits the police disappeared. When they reached Montgomery, angry white mobs was everywhere. Floyd Mann, Director of Public Safety for the state of Alabama, tried to stop the mob, but they continued to beat the Riders and those who came to their aid. Mann finally had to order in state troopers. When news of the Montgomery attack reached the White House, Robert Kennedy decided to send federal marshals to the

November 4, 1979 student demonstrators assembled in the streets outside the United States embassy in Tehran. The protests would eventually turn violent as the students stormed the walls and entered the complex. The marines stationed inside were able to sound an alarm, which put the embassy into lock¬down. After several hours the Americans in the embassy were unable to last any longer and they were captured. The hostages were told that they would be released, however, only when the Shah was forced back to Iran in order to stand trial for the crimes he had committed.

On June 21st, the strikers held a parade against the mayor and because of how violent it was, it became known as “Bloody Saturday”. This was also the end of the strike, as the government defeated the

The news of the invasion struck people with anger and fear throughout America. This led to protests and riots, including the one at Kent State University, where four young lives were lost. The Kent State shooting occurred on the 4th of May in 1970. There was a previous rally three days prior, and coming to a close, they decided to plan the next for the 4th. It was to be held at noon and once advisors had caught news they made it clear that this was to be prohibited.

They often decided to finally escape after seeing their neighborhoods bombed or family members’ kills.
