Protests, Riots and Civil Unrest

because he wanted to follow Jesus' example and basically followed his belief (Christianity) which teaches to act non violently. Also he was partially inspired by Ghandi and his 'pacifistic' behavior.

Sorry im not quite shure myself why Gandhi started a protest :(
Ghandi's people in India were treated as second class citizens by their ruler; Great Britain. Ghandi protested that.

The daughters of liberty protested the new tax laws by boycotting British goods (like tea, glass, or other things that weren't essential for survival) and making their own products instead of buying them from the British (made butter, clothes, milk, etc.)

Boycotting

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose char­acter is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People.

The riots were a protest to show that some racial groups were treated unfairly by society

There are many forms of protest used by an activist. The most common is probably organizing a march such as the anti war marches in 2003. Other methods including boycotting a particular product or company, petitions and online campaigns.

... the Democratic National Convention. The city of Chicago was inundated with "hippies" who were politically active young adults of the time. They were resistant to laws, police, and the status quo. The "hippies" had unconventional ways of expressing their opinions, primarily in support of Senator McCarthy. For example, to express their opposition to Chicago Police, the hippies would drop baggies of feces from hotel windows on to officers below. When Senator McCarthy appeared in Grant Park to speak to his supporters, however, he was surrounded by a protective detail of Chicago Police officers (in plan clothes). When the convention activities eventually got out of hand, Mayor Richard J. Daley gave his famous order to the police, "shoot to kill."

Mercy Otis Warren wrote plays that made fun of British officials. The plays were published in newspapers and widely read in the colonies.

When the Great Depression hit, places like Saskatchewan were hit especially hard. While families, women, and children were often helped by Canadian agencies, single unemployed men had no where to turn... Except to work camps. Work camps allowed men to earn money, but under harsh conditions. They were payed 20 cents per day to replace roads, bridges, and deepen lakes. The living conditions were harsh, as were working conditions. Soon men began to lash out. They created the On-To-Ottawa trek to express their feelings to the Saskatchewan government. The plan was for the men to travel to Ottawa and speak to the Prime Minister at the time, R. B. Bennett. Hundreds of men took to box cars on the trip to Regina. When they arrived, two men in Bennett's cabinet, Robert Manion and Robert Weir, granted the protest's 8 leaders to join Bennett in Ottawa under the condition that the rest of the protesters stay in Regina. Arthur "Slims" Evans, the leader of the trek and the seven others attended the meeting in which Bennett accused all of them as radicals and Evans an extortionist. Arthur replied by calling Bennett a liar before being escorted out of the building. When Evans returned back to Regina, with the seven others, he, along with many other trekkers, discovered that road blocks prevented any protesters from leaving Regina. He held a meeting with about 2,000 in attendance, in which only about 300 trekkers attended, when the whole gathering was jumped by the RCMP riot squads...

In the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644), same-sex marriages took place.

However, as early as the early Zhou Dynasty, (starting at 1045 B.C.), there were male domestic partnerships.

In Ancient Rome, the first same-sex marriage ceremony was in 222 AD.

In 2001, the Netherlands was the first to call a same-sex nuptial "marriage."

I am only including marriage in a strictly legal sense. Homosexuality and bisexuality have been documented much earlier than these dates.

A riot (N) can generally be defined as a disturbance by three plus people who spread violence and disorder throughout a society. Riots are usually against a formal organization, such as the Government.

Americans were shocked by the methods used to protect segregation.

The quickest way to effect someone is through their pockets. If their revenue dries up, they will change their ways fast.

On February 1, 1960, in Greensboro, North Carolina, Woolworth's store.

There was already racial tension then. Maria was born to Dutch Catholic parents and yet was raised by a Muslim, Aminah binte Mohamed. Both her biological parents and her guardian wanted to keep her. She was named Nadra binte Ma'arof by Aminah, and was also married off to a Malay.

A legal battle for the custody of Maria Hertogh followed, and photographs in newspapers of a Muslim girl in a Catholic convent and claims that she had bowed down to the Virgin Mary affected religious sensitivities and whipped up emotions. At the appeal hearing on 11 December 1950, the Judge dismissed Aminah's appeal and custody was given to Adeline Hunter, her biological mother. Upon hearing the judgement, huge crowds outside the court rioted, convinced that the colonial laws, the courts and the legal system were prejudiced against Muslims.

For three whole days, mobs of Malay and Indian Muslim rioters attacked any European and Eurasian in sight, setting up barricades along major roads, cars and houses on fire and taking control of districts in the vicinity of Sultan Mosque, North Bridge Road and Jalan Besar. Rioting was stopped only after two troops of the Internal Security Battalion were called in, supported by several Malays within the troops. Even so, scattered attacks continued over two days. A 24-hour curfew had to be imposed for two weeks before British and Malay troops and the Constabulary regained control of the situation.

Altogether, 18 people were killed and 173 were injured. Nine were killed by rioters while the others were killed by policemen. Aside from a Police Inspector and a Special Constable, those killed by rioters had little to do with the Hertogh case and their murder was motivated more by fanaticism and racial hatred.

Tulsa race riot happened on 1921-06-01.

In 1932, World War I veterans marched in protest in Washington. They were angry because Congress had delayed payment of their promised bonuses. The march ended with the veterans receiving their bonus pay.
