Back Then


The Civil Rights Movement was one of the worst times for African Americans. There was so much struggle, pain, and hopelessness for us. The video just reminded me about what happened back then. We went through a lot but I was surprised that a lot of young people were involved that's what I didn't know. We had a lot of march for example the March on Washington in 1963. Black people stayed strong because we had so much torment done to us. They had dogs attack on them, got hosed with water, and got arrested for no reason. The video just showed that we didn't let anybody tear us down and that we wanted our rights as Americans. This is why we should study our history so we can know what really happened during this movement. This movement is we black people really stuck together and and it should also show that no matter what you can make a difference for anybody and maybe even an entire race.
