After the tragic beating of young Emmett Till on August 28, 1955 civil rights activist has taken a stand. There have been recent protest, marches and rallies for the locals civil rights. A civil rights activist was interviewed and during this interview they stated “All we want is our God given inalienable rights. We don’t want trouble but if push comes to shove we’ll have to do what it takes.” In response to this statement police chief Todd Willingham gave out this statement “We are going to do whatever it takes to make sure these n*rs stay under our control.” Civil rights sure a big issue in our country and its time to take a stand. “People are dying, families are scared, and people are tired” said a young preacher Martin Luther King Jr. “Its time for everybody in this world to join hands and become family like god planned for it. People are killing people just because they’re black and white. Everybody deserves love whether they’re black, white, green, yellow, or red.” These powerfulk words came from a young child in 3rd grade who has lived with this hatred his whole life and is tired of finding out his friends were beat up for walking.
