Why highways are the center of the civil rights protest

Are you saying that the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's deserves to be ridiculed? Because I wouldn't put it past you.

Bottom line is that highways, built why white urban planners, have often acted as de-facto barriers between affluent white communities and the poorer neighborhoods of people of color. Also, protesting on highways brings attention to the fact that many people of color are shot dead in traffic stops.

Furthermore, many white people, living their privileged lives, do not give a damn about protests in parks, or outside government offices. Only when they are directly affected by the civil rights movement, such as increased traffic, can they understand that police brutality is a major problem which affects EVERYBODY.

I was talking about OWS.

MLK's movement didn't create chaos like BLM is.

My bad.

Let me just say that OWS, in some ways, was a success, since most people understand the phrase "99 percent" and "one percenters," it drew much public attention to income inequality, and it helped fuel the campaign for such things such as a 15 dollar minimum wage, and inspired current civil rights movements like the Black Lives Matter movement
