I don’t steadfastly stand by your last part. I believe much was accomplished for civil rights by brave people who acted on their beliefs knowing full well they would be arrested. The freedom came later. For the most part, they did it right in that movement.

I understand all that, but, by definition, those who were arrested did not have the freedom they sought at the time of the arrests. The freedom, in the form of civil rights, only came later.
