Do you think that sentence is factually inaccurate?

The Civil Rights Marchers got savagely beaten, both by the police and vigilantes. They got murdered. They got fired from their jobs. They got jailed in large numbers. This was possibly because of the massive amount of racism that was perfectly acceptable in the country at this time.

This is a list of those who died.

I am asking we respect the memory of the dead, and the conditions that they fought for. Which includes the better treatment that the Occupy people are experiencing.

And sadly, if the Occupy movement was mainly black people, I think that they’d be treated worse, even today.
