"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."
- Rachel, High School Student

"Everything that African Americans have worked
for, they deserve. Discrimination is a horrible thing."

"To me, the Civil Rights Movement was a turning
point in history because it pretty much proved that we are all
equal, even if some ingnorant people don't 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." |
