A person working for minimum wage can also relate to this, because it’s about the people working low-wage jobs in America. I learned a lot while writing this paper. I learned about how we don’t pay attention to the people working minimum wage and how they try to survive with making that sort of wage.

    The Civil Rights Movement is taught in today’s classrooms in a way that discredits what the Black community went through and how they combatted the wrath of white supremacy in America.

Not only is the involvement and the experiences of Black women are not included with the European narrative of the Civil Rights Movement, stories of Black people using firearms to protect themselves and their community are not told either. Seeing how that ignored part of the movement could actually inspired more efficient social movements and leaders, Charles E. Cobb decided to write This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed : How Guns Made the Civil Rights Movement Possible to showcase the reality of how Black people fought for their rights in this country.…
