Violent Resistance Movements
The U. S. Civil Rights Movement, anti-apartheid protests, fight for Indian independence, and women's suffrage campaigns are all generally characterized by the nonviolent change they enacted. But if we look a little deeper, we can find bloody battle scars that have been buried beneath the rest of the history. Join us as we learn about Gandhi's violent counterparts, feminist bombers, the Black Panthers (not the ones from Wakanda), and some of the most notable violent resistance movements around the world.
