In case you have been living in a hole for the last year, you know that few days pass when we don t use the word protest in our daily conversations.
Some of us can still remember the years of the violent Vietnam war protests of 1968-1970, those following the assassination of Martin Luther King, and the time Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of anti-war protesters at Kent State University, killing four.
This summer, our beloved nation has endured a series of racial and social protests.
We watched, just three weeks ago, in horror as a political rally in Washington, D.C. morphed into a raging mob. They stormed the capitol, trashed our nation s political cathedral, sent legislators cowering in hiding, and cost the lives of five, including two police officers.
