Why is there a need for civil rights leader?
By: Pourna Sengupta
Civil rights movements are a part of not only American history, but also world history. There movements only happen because of someone who has a set idea for how the world should change for the better. These people are known as the world’s civil rights leaders. From Mahatma Gandhi, to Nelson Mandela, to Malcolm X, we look up to these leaders. The influence these leaders have upon their followers and others around the world is inspiring. Do we really need civil rights leaders? Without civil rights leaders, things wouldn’t change, inspiration would be scarce, and non-violence wouldn’t be a concept.
Everyone has their opinion and from past civil rights leaders, we learn that our opinions matter and can change things. Past civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X fought for their own race only because they followed their own opinions and felt that their rights were being neglected. Without civil rights leaders to fight to express theirs and others opinions, the world wouldn’t change for the better and humans wouldn’t evolve the way they have. Dark colored people would still be discriminated against to a great extent without the civil rights leaders who fought for equality. These acts of inspiration that has change humans for the better wouldn't be visible in society today without civil rights leaders.
Inspiration changes how society looks at ideas and others around them. It also changes our actions. Without civil rights leaders to inspire us to follow our dreams, speak our opinions, and change the unfair, where would we find inspiration? Our parents help us follow our dreams, speak our opinions, and change the unfair. Our teachers help us prepare for these things. These things wouldn’t be part of our lives without the inspiration we find from our past civil rights leaders. Without our civil rights leaders, inspiration wouldn’t play a part in our everyday lives and non-violence would be a foreign concept.
Non-violence has been the moving idea that has made protests different from war. Past civil rights leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela shared the same opinion as many others. Instead of fighting violently for their rights, they fought with words and protests that didn’t contain violence. No matter how much violence was being used against them, they never resorted to violence. Without our civil rights leaders to show us that violence is not always the answer, what would our society have come to? Fighting would be a part of our daily lives and every day, we work to prevent this. Non-violence is an idea that wouldn’t have been a part of society without our civil rights leaders.
Civil rights leaders are a part of our history. They have changed things for the better of their country, race, or themselves. Millions have followed them, their opinions shaping society, changing it for the better. Without civil rights leaders to change society’s views and ideas, humans, socially, would not have evolved. They have inspired the world to follow their opinions, work towards their dreams, and learn from their mistakes because they can always be forgiven. The civil rights leaders of the past have shown us that non-violence can be the answer while violence is never the answer. Without these historic and respected leaders, the world wouldn’t have changed, inspiration wouldn’t be an effective means of motivation, and non-violence would never have been an idea.
