Ain't Scared of Your Jails
What I found to be interesting about the video Ain't Scared of Your Jails is the tactics that were used to protest in a non-violent way. One tactic that was used was to sit in restaurants and public places integrated when these places had been segregated in the past. A protestor reflected upon this experience and the way they conducted themselves, she says they were, "dressed like they were going to church." The groups planned everything down to what they wore. This shows that the protestors were very serious, deliberate, and professional when they protested. They set an example for all future non-violent protestors with the attitude and manor in which to protest effectively.

It seems like it would take too much self restraint to keep from holding back. Hats off to them.
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing how they did not even want to laugh, fearing it would send the wrong message. Talk about hardcore non-violence!
ReplyDeleteI agree the manor that they acted in even when they were acted against is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on how planned out everything was. Also how people at first didn't take the sit-in too seriously, but the sit-ins still went on and the peoples courage to stand up to the police even though they were threatened to go to jail was amazing!
