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:
1. 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?
2. Do you think these people had to use self-control?
3. Do you think they might have used any of the self-control methods we talked about?
4. Why would self-control be important for people like MLK, Rosa Parks, and Gandhi?
5. Do you think it will help you in your struggles to use self-control?
