Reply #124: that poster is not correct

[CreekDog]

you guys are both thinking by going to Washington now, or really soon, you'll be copying the Civil Rights movement.

do you know how much activity and how many years of work went on before they marched on DC?

i mean, i have a feeling you know --no idea about the other poster.

and then there was the context, yes, MLK was one leader, but he was just one. there were other leaders pushing for civil rights and other groups and their leaders as well.

i think you're making the mistake of looking back and seeing history in hindsight, condensed and simplified, but when it was happening, it was messy, like this. leaders aren't anointed right away.

it just seems like what you're asking for is not a movement but a big rally with a slogan. but we've had those before. this is trying to be more than that, to get into people's heads, into their daily lives, into the daily news so that people start to internalize it.

takes time and is slow and being a crowdsourced kind of thing, i have a feeling it's not going to have one savior leader, out in front.
