My latest: Protests are pretty much never seen as "civil," or protesters' tactics as socially acceptable, while they're happening. The neatly packaged versions exist only in retrospect.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/us/politics/us-protests-history-george-floyd.html …
Take MLK. People like to remember him as a unifying figure who protested the "right" way. But he was arrested ~30 times, blackmailed by the federal government, beaten and assassinated, and died one of the most disliked people in America.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/us/politics/us-protests-history-george-floyd.html …
"There’s always going to be a group that attempts to demonize that which is being done,“ his son Martin Luther King III said. "Dad totally used the method of nonviolence, and he was consistently criticized."https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/us/politics/us-protests-history-george-floyd.html …
Or take women's suffragists. Some of them circulated petitions and held town meetings. Others burned President Woodrow Wilson in effigy on the White House lawn. Guess which part history books tend to emphasize?https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/us/politics/us-protests-history-george-floyd.html …
In researching this article, I found some truly amazing articles and quotes in the NYT archives. Here's how the NYT reported Elizabeth Cady Stanton's testimony to the House Judiciary Committee in 1860:pic.twitter.com/0d9Iy5Lhma
This is from February 1919, when the NWP (the more radical suffragist group) burned Wilson in effigy and NAWSA (the more moderate suffragist group) accused them of undermining the cause. https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1919/02/10/97071928.pdf?pdf_redirect=true&ip=0 …pic.twitter.com/7XUCZMeOMF
Old polling data is also revealing. In 1961, 57% of Americans thought sit-ins and the Freedom Rides hurt the cause of integration. In 1964, the year after the March on Washington, 74% percent said mass demonstrations hurt the cause.https://news.gallup.com/vault/246167/protests-seen-harming-civil-rights-movement-60s.aspx …
If we look solely at effectiveness, putting moral/philosophical considerations aside, there is no neat, consistent pattern to which types of protest work and which don't. History just doesn't support those narratives.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/us/politics/us-protests-history-george-floyd.html …
Much more in the article, including insights from historians and political scientists who study what makes movements effective.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/us/politics/us-protests-history-george-floyd.html …
Maybe we need a better history and teaching of non violent direct action in school social studies classes.
Great article, thank you.
