(73,559 posts)Very nice OP. Thank you for this.
Every generation -- like every person -- has to find their own way. You can learn from the past ....even from ancient history, like when I was 20. Some of the social-cultural dynamics may be similar, but everything changes. So the approach to current events, while based on the foundation of activists from the past, have to constantly be up-graded and fine-tuned. That's a good thing.
To keep up with change, people must change. To master change, one must be focused. And that understands that just as to do good, one must be good .....to do more, one must constantly be becoming more. For it is by changing ourselves, with the goal of improving, that we change that which surrounds us.
And, as RFK used to quote, it's never too late to create a better world.
