I think people also forget that there were civil rights protests for *100 years.* activists protested and lobbied constantly from the end of reconstruction through the 50s and 60s. mostly they were just ignored, beaten, jailed. 1

“From the first children’s march on May 2 [1963], The New York Times published more stories about race in the next two weeks than in the previous year.” — Taylor Branch, “The King Years”

I’m not an advocate and don’t have a dog in these fights, but these sort of ahistorical takes frustrate me.

Turns out protest alone was never what changed things, it was protest *plus media coverage of protests*, which prompted officials to respond to protests, which increased public awareness of protests, etc.

If the protest happens & corporate media simply ignores it ... it's inert.
