Peaceful Disruptions in Civil Rights Movements

Join us for an engaging discussion exploring the power of peaceful disruption in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s, illustrated by the iconic sit-ins. These nonviolent protests challenged societal norms and interrupted daily life, drawing national attention to the injustices faced by Black Americans. We will examine how these acts of defiance not only highlighted systemic racism but also inspired collective action and led to significant legislative changes. Through a closer look at the strategies employed by activists, we’ll uncover the transformative impact of peaceful disruption in the fight for justice and equality. Participants are encouraged to share their insights and reflections on the enduring legacy of these movements and the role of disruption in advocating for social change today.
