Thursday in class we learned about sit ins and how that was a form of silent protest. They weren't doing anything illegal but the other citizens were not having any of it. We then watched a video to end the class about the sit ins. I enjoyed watching it because it makes everything real, and more relate able when you can actually see what occurred That'd why i like getting to this time in history because there is video documentation of everything.
Today in class we learned about the freedom riders and how their buses were viciously attacked with fire bombs and angry mobs of white people. We took notes on the subject, only briefly interrupted by a slight conversation about movies, and then we watched a video about the freedom riders
