Absolutely fascinating course - a privilege to have insights from one of the major lights of the civil rights movement This course provided valuable oral histories of the Civil Rights movement in America.

A beutiful course- From Freedom Rides to Ferguson: Narratives of Nonviolence in the American Civil Rights Movement.This is a historical event that keeps updating itself every day.

I loved being able to hear directly from the leaders of the civil rights movement.

-The civil rights movement was fiercely organized and executed.

I will be spending my upcoming months going through the readings, books, and independent research to learn more about the civil rights movements and its leaders.

A profound analysis of the Civil Rights Movement, told from the perspective of an active participant.

It is more than a history lesson.I It was a pleasure to listen to Dr Lafayette explain not only what happened during the Civil Rights movement but also the background, the outcome and the philosophy of the people involved.This class has outstanding content and is a great source of reflections on our individual actions.

Overall an excellent course that involved a lot of great material on the nonviolent efforts of the Civil Rights Movement.

I thought I knew a lot about the Civil Rights Movement but this course proved differently.

A brilliant introduction to the principles of non-violence, the philosophy of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, and the lives of those who were the founders of the movement including Dr. Marin Luther King.

This was a great refresher course for me having lived during the Civil Rights Movement but in the northern part of the United States.

Every body black white green or polka dot should take this course, learn to come together non violently thank you all for the lessons I learned My thanks to Dr. Bernard Lafayette for an interesting & helpful introduction to the history of nonviolence in the civil rights movement as well as suggestions on how this methodology, philosophy, and techniques are relevant and necessary for antiracist activism today and into the future.

Thank you SO MUCH for translating your experiences into another digestible course, so that less informed folks like me can encounter (albeit late) your bravery, intelligence, and accomplishments which should never be forgotten.

Thank you so much!

I'm learning so much, and it's a wonderful format.

I have learnt so much and will be applying this to the change action empowerment in the UK.

Dr. Lafayette did a wonderful job in his stories and descriptions to make the Movement struggles and successes real.
