| Description | "I have a dream" - this is the beginning of the famous speech by US civil rights activist Martin Luther King from 1963. King dreamt of equality for all people, regardless of the colour of their skin. With the help of civil disobedience, the US civil rights movement succeeded in abolishing discriminatory racial laws in the USA. This is a famous example in history of how civil disobedience can change a country's policies for the better. But what is civil disobedience? How does it differ from political resistance? And why is civil disobedience important in a democracy? This is about the history of civil disobedience and why it is often legitimate, but never legal. |
