There was a protest in Birmingham. Echoes of the past keep reverberating don't they? A few days before Christmas a group organized through facebook called "black lives matter" like many other groups around the country they planed to block traffic at a high end shopping center.
But the protest turned out to be more of a lesson for some of the protestors. A lesson I think many of us here can benefit from.
What do people mean when they say they reject nonviolent protest? Why is that about? Why is it important?
I hope you will take the time to watch this important video by Michael Harriot:

It tells about how he went to a protest and in a very real sense no one came with him. People were there but they were not with him.
