DAPL protestors (names not found)

Claudette Colvin was actually the first one to refuse her seat in Montgomery, Alabama to a white passenger. The movement chose to promote Rosa Parks as the figure for that form of protest because Claudette was a pregnant 15-year-old girl.

Barbara Rose Johns was a 16-year-old who organized a student strike protesting segregated schools. This strike, after gaining support of the NAACP, became a lawsuit that turned into Brown vs. The Board of Education and resulted in the desegregation of U.S schools nationally.

7th-grader Mary Beth Tinker, disturbed by the Vietnam War, decided to wear an arm band with a peace sign on it in protest. Her school suspended her. Her family filed a suit, Tinker vs. Des Moines, which reached the Supreme Court and ruled in her favor, ensuring that students and teachers maintain their right to free speech while in school.

Freddie & Truus Oversteegen were sisters who joined a Dutch resistance movement in WWII in their teens. They lured, ambushed, and assassinated Nazis and Dutch collaborators. They also blew up a railway line, transported Jewish refugees to new hiding places, and worked in an emergency hospital.

But how do I convey what life looked like before? How do I get them to imagine hearing Yiddish regularly in urban life? How do I paint the picture of whole Jewish rural communities? How do I explain that it used to be normal in so many major cities in Eastern Europe to have neighbors who spoke multiple languages? How do I convey the hole left in Polish intellectual life from the intelligentsia being shot en mass? A Mediterranean before the treaty of Lausanne? All the border regions where multilingualism was a fact of life?

And everyone just sits and listens - most of the media quietly broadcasting it without significant pushback on the lies, and the flat-out crazy self-aggrandizing bullshit.

Bro absolutely COOKED with this.

EDIT: Y'all OOP is not whitewashing and brushing past the crimes of the fucking Taliban, they're simply pointing out that unlike the American elite- who have never suffered a day in their lives- terrorists like the Taliban usually go through some radicalizing event caused by poor life circumstances. That absolutely does not excuse or condone the horrible things they do, of course.
