Most Americans now do not participate because they never had civic classes, never went with their high school to see the Town Selectmen and women doing their work at Town Hall. They don't know how the system works

The students in the 1960's and 1970's caused change with large, nonviolent protests, then with work on social change like anti-poverty programs.

"...this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.

"The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences."
