‘Ever since the Boston Tea Party, it has been the spirited, explosive and messy protests and civil disobedience- sit-down strikes at auto factories and sit-ins at segregated lunch counters, for example- that have transformed day-to-day grievances into movements that make history. These actions dramatize serious problems and encourage people to become part of a crusade for social justice. The sense of crisis generated by such protests often forces political and business leaders- mostly concerned about order and stability- to respond by negotiating reforms.’
