Talkback

Submit your thoughts on FEBRUARY ONE.

We invite you to respond to the questions below or add your comments. Selected submissions will be posted on our Talkback page, so check back regularly and join the discussion.
  • The early Civil Rights Movement grew around a philosophy of nonviolent direct action and passive resistance. Do you think nonviolence is the most effective method for creating social change? Why or why not?

  • Television quickly spread the story of the Greensboro sit-in to other cities and fueled the protest's mass impact. In today's environment, what do you think it takes to mobilize groups of people towards action?

  • The Greensboro Four, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and others served as leaders in the Civil Rights Movement. It has been said that "everything rises and falls on leadership." Do you agree or disagree with this theory?
