Modern Activism

In our discussion last class period we talked about the activism of the Berkley movement and how it wasn't nearly as pivotal as the BPP/civil rights or woman's suffrage movements.

Following the recent riots in Dinkytown this weekend I want to draw attention to the U of M students who went out to the riots on both nights. Neither riot had any particular purpose but the fad had students waking up to go protest! (their team winning and losing?)

This weekend revealed to me the fad of activism. Some students were injured, some cars were flipped, and there was absolutely no cause whatsoever, contained anarchy. A campus that continues to demand more security after recent thefts, murders, and muggings contradicted itself with these riots.
