Living sometimes in Atlanta, where the past of a civil rights movement that was purpose-driven, sophisticated, strategic, and disciplined has been kept alive a bit more than other places, I watch historical footage from the 60s, of strings of people singing quietly and clapping in time various religious songs while being herded into police vans, and I am awestruck at the dignity and the self-control. If the current movements could get to that, at the scale of the many-more people that they include today, we could solve a lot of these problems.
