Civil Disobedience

Question: Would you have been able to use civil disobedience and non-violence?
Answer: If I was a young child during the Civil Rights Movement, i would not have been able to use civil disobedience. I would have been to scared because many terrible things happened to young children, such as Emmett Till, during this movement. If I was an adult, i definitly would want to help. I would march, sit in at lunch counters and ride "white only" busses. I would want to help fight for equal rights. Segregation is just not fair and the only thing that we could do about it is revolt.
