Expoloration #6
This film of Civil Right is very emotional film to watch, there are many problems because the struggle was about more than Civil Right. This wa issue of economic and educational problems. this equality during the Civil Right Movement, the act of nonviolent protest and Civil disobedience included Boycott such us successful Montgomery Bus Boycot. these caused a lot of problems. stuent told not be nonviolent and be prepared to be arrested if they do violent and order to put in jail. The student diddnt listened. The police arrived and arrested student. in Feb 28, 1960 Mayor West announced biracial committee to invesgate, but not came of invasgation. in 1969 after two months later Boycott started then 2,000 people had been arrested . Civil Right Movement stood me out after i watched the flim , the part that talked about between black and white going to school and drink fountain . The eighteen years old that asked the Major of nashville (is it okay to discriminated someone). This quote stood me out because it is really good question to ask , but the Majer didnt answer the question. It is not right to discriminated someone the way they look and the color they are. i really like those who were the frreedom writters and they were fighting their freedom. Without freedom is without a life. i feel sorry those who were riding the bus while the bus destroyed in 12 people rushed to the hospital. After all that happen the goverment didnt find those who caused the problem to the innocent people who want peace everything will be okay if their were respect each other between black and white and if they treated some especial if they had good goverment to protect them.

I agree this movie was very sad and hard to watch at times. I thought it was very sad how they were non violent but yet were beating for taking their stand.
ReplyDeleteI felt so bad for the men and women riding the bus that was destroyed, as well. I thought it was ridiculous that the government did not back up the freedom riders, and instead, found them guilty for doing nothing wrong. Overall, it was a difficult film to watch because it is hard to believe that this happened in our country. These men and women worked hard for their freedom, and I am glad that we have moved past that.
ReplyDeleteI as well thought this film was an emotional thing to watch. I have always been educated on segregational matters but it really doesnt sink in and truly affect you until you are able to see it first hand. I thought the non violent protest was a very smart choice that they chose to follow; it gave them a higher pride and a public view of them looking less savage even though they were still arrested for what they did. I believe the Freedom Riders were the most heroic because they went into towns that were waiting to kill them and yet they still continued to stand their ground (both black and white) to make a point.
ReplyDeleteTo me this movie was very powerful and sad because we had to watch people be beaten,just because they wanted to sit at the counter like everyone else. I praise them for not giving in and choosing to not use violence as a way of gaining their freedom, which they so rightly deserved.
