- Stanley Crouch

About this Quote

This quote by Stanley Crouch talks to the irony of the civil liberties motion in the United States. Despite the fact that the civil liberties motion was mostly a serene demonstration, it was met violence from those who opposed it. The grand irony is that regardless of the violence, partition in the South was not brought to an end, nor was redneck violence considerably decreased. This talks to the power of tranquil demonstration and the durability of those who fought for civil liberties. It also talks to the power of the civil liberties motion to produce alter without turning to violence. This quote works as a tip that tranquil demonstration can be more powerful than violence in accomplishing social modification.
