The peaceful protests could be helpful since it allowed ordinary women to protest as well, while also not having to play a huge part in the movement. Some of these peaceful protests and demonstrations also made it to newspapers and encouraged more people to support them.]]> 2023-05-23 15:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2601865602 dweek322 https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2601870785 Many peaceful protests were used in the Civil Rights Movement including the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This boycott showed people how serious they were about this problem, with the buses being left almost empty due to their boycott being supported throughout the city. This boycott also led to the formation of the Montgomery Improvement Association, which organized more of these boycotts and made demands. The boycott got a ton of media attention and ultimately forced the Supreme Court to deem segregation on public buses unconstitutional. ]]> 2023-05-23 15:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2601870785 dweek322 https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2601893569 Another peaceful protest that played a major part in the Civil Rights Movement were the sit-ins. The first sit-in was just four students who sat at a "whites only" lunch counter. This type of peaceful protest also gained a lot of attention and only two months later, more than 50,000 students had participated in the protests. The sit-ins also led to the creation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became one of the most prominent civil rights organizations. This shows that these peaceful protests show persistence and dedication to making change, and can also make huge impacts while encouraging many others to do the same.]]> 2023-05-23 15:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2601893569 dweek322 https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2604196596 "7 Major Protests of the Civil Rights Movement."

The Liberation Day Parade in New York was on the first anniversary of the Stonewall riots, and was made up of many supporters. This type of peaceful protest was very helpful in getting many people to join, and also continued the pride parades today.]]> 2023-05-25 15:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2605003083 dweek322 https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2605009766 People who supported the Gay Rights Movement also used another form of peaceful protests which was by making displays. Some gay men created a display labeled "Free: Gay Liberation, Minnesota". They attached lots of photos, posters, and signs to the display to show why gay people should be able to be free and have the same rights as everyone else. People would frequently pass by this display, which helped them spread the word and get more supporters. ]]> 2023-05-25 15:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2605009766 dweek322 https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2605025743 The National Woman's Party, or NWP, was known for their relentless attitude, clever media stunts, and petitioning. On October 20th, 1916, when Woodrow Wilson was delivering a speech, the members of the NWP were stationed with signs outside the Chicago Amphitheater. During their picketing, many of the supporters were willing to be arrested, which showed their dedication to the cause. They also gained the attention of the media and got more acknowledgment through that.]]> 2023-05-25 15:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dweek322/oec87ecksnpvz5sa/wish/2605025743
