Voting Rights
Out of all the choices made by the characters in March, I personally think that the choice to get Black Americans to wait in line until they register was the best idea. I think that it was the best because no one died from it and it helped to get the ball rolling more for equal voting rights. It was a good way of showing opposition to segregationist politicians like George Wallace as well. Also, actions like this were an excellent way of saying that the segregationist system was not something that they were willing to live with.
Although at the time when they were planning this it was definitely very risky, the benefits largely outweighed the costs. This is true because if actions were not taken segregationist politicians could have stayed in power for much longer. Not only that but the right to vote is a very important right that should be given equally to all people regardless of race or ethnicity. For example, the right to vote can change the course of history. However, this did come at the possible cost of those standing in line getting hurt or even killed. But even with this possibility I think that without hindsight it was still the right move as there are arguments for voting being a right worth dying for.
With hindsight included it becomes even more of a good idea. Not only did the loopholes to make it very difficult for Black Americans not be able to vote go away but segregation would end due to things like this. Luckily no one died and the goal of getting segregationist politicians out of office would be fulfilled as well. In conclusion, I think that waiting in line to register to vote is one of the best choices made by any character in March.
