I want you to think back about our first unit, Perseverance, and to think about what that quality has to do with the Civil Rights Movement.
- Go back to this post, and read some of the comments, review the slideshow, and the video.
- Come back here, and pick two questions to answer:
- Do you think that the people involved in the struggle for civil rights (Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr.) and the people you are reading about in the Taking a Stand unit (Gandhi) ever felt frustrated?
- Do you think these people had to use self-control?
- Do you think they might have used any of the self-control methods we talked about?
- Why would self-control be important for people like MLK, Rosa Parks, and Gandhi?
- Do you think it will help you in your struggles to use self-control?

Yes self-control will help you if you use self-control. Yes it was hard because it was hard for black people back then.

Keith S. // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:11 am
Those people had to use self-control like Martin Luther King used his self-control to give a speech to the whole world about his dream. He got shot but he changed the world with his speech. Self-control helps me when I’m struggling with something.
Travis.h // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:26 am
So true that Martin Luther Kings use self-control on his speech for good reason and making every thing right for the world and other people who really care about that stuff
tyrek w. // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:12 am
I think that he did yours self-control so that white and black can be with each other. I can use self-control when I’m in class.
Sonny.T // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:24 am
I agree with u because if they didn’t use self-control they will be really mad.
Adriana R. // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:12 am
I do think they got frustrated because they always had to sit in the back of the bus and never got to sit in front.
I do think that they did have to use self control so they don’t get sent to jail.
Amairani A // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:22 am
I really like your comment I think you are right .I agree with your comment .
Rosa V. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:24 am
I agree with you because what happened.
Amairani A // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:13 am
I think they had self control . I think they had to used lots of self control .
Adriana R. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:23 am
Well what I have to say is that I think you should write more but by the way I think it is true because they did have self control.
Yeng K. // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:13 am
I think they did because it took forever for them to protest but finally they got their own rights. Yes because they had to control themselves from fighting with the government.
ROSA V. // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:14 am
Yes I think it will help me to use self control because they could threaten you. Yes I think they had to use self control because a lot of reasons.
steven m. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:20 am
I can put it better my self.
Yuruvith S. // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:14 am
Self control will be really useful because if you use it you would show that you have respect and you don’t want to be mean.I also think that these people used self control because they showed that they could solve things with out any violence because they showed that they cared even though some people treated them with out respect.
Yeng K. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:20 am
Yes I agree with you self control is useful.
shelley v. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:25 am
I agree with you because I also think that they need to use self control to take care of the problem that they’re having.
Cristina E. // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:15 am
yes because if it wasn’t fair I ‘ll use self-control to make people believe in what i believe in.
shelley v. // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:15 am
I think that it will help me to used self-control when I struggles.Yes I think that they needed to used self-control a lot because they need to showed that they can solve these problem without violence and they also need to be respectful.
Yuruvith S. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:29 am
I agree with you people had to show respect and I also think that things should be solved without any violence.You are so correct about this, people should often show respect Because of now and days we see some people who are disrespectful to each other!!!!!!
Shauna z // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:17 am
Yes I think they used the self control methods.It did help me control my self better.
Katie N. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:25 am
I think you answered the questions right.
Sonny.T // Feb 3, 2010 at 11:19 am
They had to use self-control when they were beating them with a stick. Self-control is important to MLk because they keep on beating them.
Keith S. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:18 am
What do you mean when you said beating someone with a stick?
Akire C. // Feb 5, 2010 at 11:21 am
That is very important.That is so very true I agree.
