But the one they have for today is as good as it gets and I recognized it immediately. Give credit where credit is due: Google was really thoughtful about this one and how to convey it:
This is how to SERIOUSLY protest a wrong. Peacefully and respectfully. Nobody was hurt, nobody was insulted, nobody was arrested because of violent behavior. These young men simply went in, sat at a whites-only lunch counter, and politely asked for service. They were denied. So they just went back the next day and asked for lunch again. And again. And again.
The word spread, there were other such protests and it wasn't long before Woolworth’s ended its segregation policies. Other businesses soon followed.
We could learn a lot from the Greensboro Four, even still today. Come to think of it, especially today.
\Well done Google, well done.

Well it's one of two effective ways. If the other side is a danger rather than a mere nuisance, burning everything down is perfectly ethical.
