The lessons derived from the Civil Rights movement in the American south are highly relevant in context to today's political climate. Originally delivered at a Shabbat service in 2025, this talk outlines some of the movement's significant achievements. I examine key historical milestones, beginning with Rosa Parks' arrest in 1955 and the subsequent emergence of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the leader of a non-violent movement, along with the pivotal events that followed. And, of course, I throw in a few ideas about how to be enough!
