Exploration 3

Well in my opinion, I think we can all learn many lessons from this film.  The main lesson I think to be learned is that if you want change; violence does not have to be an option, and use direct action.  The sit ins and the freedom ride through the south were carefully planned and practiced  and I think that they were much more effective to gain civil rights for African Americans then if they tried fighting back in violence.  Their tactics of using direct action really stands out because it would be so hard not to fight back when you believe in something so important. I think that if I were in their shoes I would never be able to keep my cool; if I was arrested for doing nothing or being beaten right when I got off a bus.  A quote I got from the movie I liked was, “youth can be a real force for change.”
