As you read about the response to the AIDS crisis, think about the similarities between that and Civil Rights demonstrations of the 60’s, and tell how they were similar.
Both of the movements…..
- Were driven by marginalized and oppressed communities seeking justice and equality.
- Faced significant backlash and resistance from those in power who were reluctant to change the status quo.
- Utilized grassroots organizing and activism to raise awareness and pressure the government and society to take action.
- Focused on changing societal attitudes and policies that perpetuated discrimination and marginalization.
- Highlighted the importance of solidarity and unity among different groups and communities fighting for justice and equality.
