Gaining Rights

Civilians must have rights. In a society if a man does not like the government he will leave or he will change it. Throughout history many men and woman had to stand up and fight for what is right; civil rights. People did many things to get civil rights and many methods were used. Many used violent protest because they were furious but a few tried non-violent protest and that was also very effective. In my opinion the most best method was boycotting something. In 1955 Rosa Park did not give her seat up for a black man and this started the Montgomery boycott. A boycott hit a buisness or government where they really exceed and the boycott makes problems. These changes also made the lives of the people hard. As they were striking or boycotting to get their rights it made there lives harder. People were fired or could not work so they could not provide for their families and themselves. Citizen who fight for there civil rights are among the strongest in their society because they firght for what they believe is right.
