//Read quote on page 929. What does this tell you about the risks and resistance Black activists faced in working to get the vote. Is it worth it? What would you do in this situation?//

This tells us that not was it only dangerous for demonstrators to go protesting, but it was also possibly dangerous for the relatives of the demonstrators, because white people could harrass them, as well. It also shows that while there were many brave demonstrators fighting for equality, there were also many that didn't want to worsen their precocious status as the inferior people of the country. I don't blame them, either. Many families were killed by white extremist groups, tortured, and committed crimes that were successful.

But it was probably worth it. I would probably fight like Hollis Watkins did. It's something worth fighting for.
