You are too young to remember the 60's and early 70's? Front page news. And it didn't take a large percentage of the population to effectuate change although it took awhile- would have been faster if MLK and RFK hadn't been assassinated

world of difference between then and now, with social media and internet distracting people it's a lot easier to miss stories of protests.

Sad and true. Also they aren't being covered...except maybe on MSNBC. Vietnam War protests were front page news and made national news when that's what people watched

even if news was covering them i'm not sure how much of a difference it would make as most young people don't even watch the news on TV anymore and get most of their info from podcasts and Youtube.

So how do we get film of the protests on YouTube? Podcast without visual is tougher
