Nashville Civil Rights

The main thing that caught my attention was how much differently I would think about issues today if it weren't for MLK and the civil rights movement. It was interesting to see the diverse group of people they interviewed. The first being the white soccer-mom (what she would've been referred to today) who believed it was a violation her own civil rights by not allowing her to choose who she gets to serve and not serve. Another interview that was interesting was the group of teenaged boys. One of the boys specifically said that he wasn't raised around African Americans and he didn't want to have to adapt to living around them because he wouldn't know how. All of the people interviewed who were against the civil rights movement in Nashville sounded unintelligent. They avoided the real reason they had a problem with the movement; that they just didn't like African Americans.
