'Guns Kept People Alive' During The Civil Rights Movement | WAMU 88.5 - American University Radio

'Guns Kept People Alive' During The Civil Rights Movement | WAMU 88.5 - American University Radio:

June 5, 2014

"This year marks the 50th anniversary of many pivotal events in the civil rights movement, and to commemorate "Freedom Summer," Tell Me More is diving into books that explore that theme.

One of the cornerstones of the civil rights movement was non-violent resistance. During lunch counter sit-ins and protest marches Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders instructed participants not to take up arms. Instead, when violence erupted or force was used to disrupt their activities, people would non-violently resist attempts by law enforcement to end the protest.

 But this passive resistance did not necessarily mean an unwillingness to use force to protect themselves from violence in other circumstances.

This hiding in plain sight story is recounted to NPR's Michel Martin by author, professor and former Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee field secretary Charles E. Cobb Jr. in his new book, This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed: How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible."

Civil Rights movement comes alive through art

Civil Rights movement comes alive through art

By Pam Zappardino, In the Arts Monday, January 19, 2009

Art and history are seldom in the same thought, except in nightmarish memories of darkened rooms and numbing arrays of slides. Art relates to history in a broader sense, though, interpreting, as Webster says, the “record of significant events (as affecting a nation or institution) often including an explanation of their causes.” Some view history as, well, “dead,” not relevant to their lives. Art can help change their minds.

I’ve just spent four days on the road down South visiting sites of major campaigns in the civil rights movement. History is alive there and art is its constant companion.

Walking through King International Chapel at Atlanta’s Morehouse College, I saw the gallery of portraits, folks from everywhere who have worked for peace. They came alive through their faces and through the symbols and objects with them in those paintings, explanatory panels filling in the facts.
