response to guest speakers

the guest speakers were very informative and interesting. listening to them gave me a better understanding of what went down back then and a better understanding of why they did what they did. the guy from the netherlands was obviously an active protester and he put together many protests that changed the world for the better. he gave me a better understanding of how to protest when to protest and why to protest.when rick silverman j-holstrum and the other guy came in it gave me a better understanding of why they protested so much in america in the 60's. one reaszon was the press, which is exactly what we dont have now, which is a great reason that more protest isnt happening, and what little protest is happening isnt quite making the news. the guest speaker that brought in all the banners gave me a better understanding of different ways to protest and things you can do to make people more aware. i dont think the crosses for the soldiers that died in the war is a protest, i think that it is supposed to spark protest amungst the people that see the display. chris holstrum gave me a better understanding of what was happening in ohio and some protests that happened at kent state.
