When it’s hard to come up with right thing to say, or when it’s difficult for us to speak clearly; the things we are passionate about (even something as innocent and childlike as a Disney movie) can help our inner thoughts and deepest feelings be fleshed out into meaningful language.

The civil rights groups in the 60’s used a slew of different tactics in order to get their message of needed racial equality out there. Many Northern non-black supporters mailed in donations to race equality organizations in the 60’s, this demonstrates the use of conscience constituents. (Best) These types of constituents are able to support an SMO while being completely uninvolved in the physical sense. Organizations such as the NAACP, advertised their need for financial help through television news stations and radio talk shows. All over the country people we being informed of the racial tension cooking up in the South.
