Is violence and protesting necessary to get others attention ?
in my opinion and the input i gathered from others violence is not the key nor is it anyone's first choice and in protest you barely see violence because we know what it would lead to and we protest because we have a voice but the people in power and the privileged they don't hear us so we march in the streets and wave signs only because we want to be heard
How did it end ?
Civil rights movement- when it reached the Lincoln memorial, that Martin Luther King Jr gave his iconic “I have a dream” speech. The next year, the Civil Rights Act was passed. Women's strike for equality- John F Kennedy, the US President at the time, admitted that watching 1,500 women march in DC from a window in the White House helped push him into signing the nuclear test ban treaty with the USSR two years later. Salt Satyagraha protest- ended with Gandhi's release from jail and negotiations with Viceroy Lord Irwin at the Second Round Table Conference. the cold war ended with Crime, Cultural Changes, and Social Upheavals. The Soviet Union's collapse not only threw economic systems and trade relations throughout Eastern Europe into a tailspin, but it also produced the upheaval in many Eastern European countries and led to increased crime rates and corruption within the Russian government.
