Do you hear that? It’s freedom.

When the sit-ins and protest were taking place in the 1960’s a lot of violence and anger were present in them. The African Americans were struggling to be heard and have changes made for their cause. They were seeking any possible way to be heard and to be seen. Everyone around during the time of violence who was not African American did not interfere in any way to stop the actions that were taking place. Some of the individuals who were present during these actions, were the ones who had planned them, such as the African Americans in the diner who refused to leave and the diner owner told them they could leave through the back door. Leaving through the backdoor was supposed to be those individuals leaving the diner to go home, instead they were fumigated. In no way or for any reason should they have deserved that. This made all African Americans call for freedom. They took the streets in protest, fighting for the freedom they deserved just as everyone else. “Letting freedom ring” referring to letting the freedom they’ve been seeking, finally being heard, and seen. Having that freedom finally being given after time and tine again of fighting for it. Freedom can be heard and passed on to all of those who have been longing it so dearly. These people have endured gruesome acts of violence, beatings, and some even getting killed. African Americans went through just as many things I feel I would to fight for my freedom. In my viewpoint, I feel it is awful to have to go to the point to having people have to get killed before actual action is taken seriously. In the text of March Book Two, I found myself on the outside field, as a watcher and bystander almost, as a Caucasian female, at that particular time white woman were not involved in most of the fights or crime on the African Americans and I personally feel awful knowing at the time these actions were happening and no matter even if the whites who felt it was very wrong to do what was being done to the African Americans, they could not prevent it. These events that took place I believe were worth and also not worth going through for freedom. In life we should not have to be beaten and killed to get our freedom, we should be able to have peaceful protest to get the point through. People do not let time and discussion take place when it comes to differences, instead they hop on the chance to use their fist rather than words. The overall text of March Book Two, comes to me and tells me the stories of struggle and grief that the African Americans had to endure for them to be able to hear their own freedom ring. Not only for them but for the future African Americans to still hear their freedom ringing.
