The civil rights movement was based on faith. Many of us who were participants in this movement saw our involvement as an extension of our faith. We saw ourselves doing the work of the Almighty. Segregation and racial discrimination were not in keeping with our faith so we had to do something.
One isn't necessarily born with courage but one is born with potential. Without courage we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind true merciful generous or honest.
