The Power Of The Picket

The success of the "Civil Rights Movement" ignited a spirit in the Black community that caught on like wildfire. Peaceful protest became a viable means of airing our greivances. It created a spirit of activism and people wanting to get involved. In hindsight this produced a bitter/sweet effect though. The same methods that worked on our behalf so far. Were now considered too complacent by some. This to me is a crucial time in history for Blacks in America. It did nothing to change where Blacks had been, but played a major role in where they were going.
