Throwing Children in Jail, MLK's secret weapon on Racism!

Grab your children and teach them the real history of MLK and not the watered down politically correct stuff they learn in school these days.
We remind people how effective mass civil disobedience is and examine Martin Luther King's Strategy. We remember the violence and courage of the 1960's and focus on the Children's march at Birmingham.

We celebrate the births of TWO civil disobedience heroes this week. MLK today and Lysander Spooner tomorrow!  :-)

I object strongly to the wording used here. MLK Jr did not "throw" anyone in jail. The oppressors did. This wording used has a very negative connotation to it and I'm willing to bet the person who wrote the title of this video actually has a hidden agenda. MLK did not do anything wrong or put anyone in danger, the police and the racists did. Telling people they should exercise their rights by walking in white-only public areas is NOT wrong. You are victim blaming and that's despicable.

during the second day of the march, at a park that seperated the white territory from the black territroy, the whites would use fire hoses against the blacks- about 1000 people down to the ground because of pressure and the water- but 10 were left standing

they would hold hands shouting "FREEDOM, FREEDOM" knowing they were going to jail

about1,500 kids, yes , kids were sent to jail on that day... standing up for their rights

standing up for their rights is what i call being a true american

proud to be black- MLK

AWESOME, and I mean AWESOME, video Tarrin!!! I was looking for something to explain and DISPLAY the Birmingham march and struggle to my 10th Grade History class and this is just PERFECT. The narration is spot on and the video/pictures are powerful. Bravo. Thank you. I hope you don't mind this being broadcast as an educational lesson for 10th Graders...

What movie was this from (the videos)

[morningyoga]

Great report Tarrin! I think they were called Freedom Riders. But anyway....I learned some things i didn't know from this. Maybe civil disobedience....as a group on the streets....could make a difference. Not just protesting with signs.

[brownsongs]

They were not called Liberty Riders, it was the Freedom Riders. Just sayin...

...became a Republican as a result of his support for the Barry Goldwater Presidential campaign in 1964.

Republican Presidential Candidate Barry Goldwater carried the Deep South in 1964, despite losing in a landslide in the rest of the nation to President Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas. Democrat & Republican politics actually have very little to do with what MLK was demonstrating against.

Learn your American political history, lest you prove to the entire world that you are a fool, FactDenier1!
