Civil Rights Movement Veterans

We who believe in freedom cannot rest — Ella Baker

Linked with the Bay Area Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement.

… Those who were tactically nonviolent used Nonviolent Resistance as a tool for building political power, – in demonstrations, as an organizing technique and style, and as a political strategy to achieve specific goals. But it was a tactic, not a philosophy of life; and in other situations, – both personal and political, – other strategies and tactics might be used. We who were tactically nonviolent used Nonviolent Resistance because we wanted to win. We saw nonviolence as the most effective way to accomplish our goals through political means. We did not love our enemies, nor did we believe that our redemptive suffering would win over racists and segregationists to a new world of inter-racial brotherly love. By 1963 the great majority of Freedom Movement activists in CORE, SNCC, NAACP, and even SCLC, were tactically nonviolent rather than philosophically nonviolent … (excerpt from Two Kinds of Nonviolent Resistance, by Bruce Hartford, 2004).
