"The most memorable moment of the Civil Rights Movement for me was the
incident that involved three students protesting peacefully at a lunch
counter. This was very inspirational for me to know that three people could
sit perfectly calm while they were being taunted and had food thrown on them. |
It was a nonviolent but very powerful way of stating that segregation and
discrimination were wrong."

believe it." |

"The most memorable thing about the Civil Rights Movement is Dr. King and his
leadership. I've heard that it is important to learn that the only thing that should be
separated by color is the laundry, and I agree with that." |

"We should have never had to have had a Civil Rights Movement. You would think
that people would have learned these fundamental principles earlier in life.
Looking at someone and instantly hating them because of their skin color is
utterly stupid. In my opinion, the Civil Rights Movement happend a little
late." |
