Introduction

Civil disobedience is an important element of American History that has been utilized in many aspects of social change throughout the centuries.  Also known as passive resistance, it is a form of protest against a government or organization in which the one protesting refuses to abide by a law that is contrary to his/her beliefs, while also refusing to engage in violent behavior to correct the injustice. As students, our task for this project is to research one of those instances of social change and create an info-graphic (physical or online) to share your knowledge of civil disobedience.
