Think about the elements of successful social movements that you have now seen employed by many historical interest groups; and consider, too, the common ways that all these movement “moments” are framed and mythologized by various media.

Discuss a connection you see between the reality — or the portrayal — of the Civil Rights movement, the LGBTQ rights movement, and one of the Global Human Rights initiatives you read about in TV Reed’s chapters 6 or 9. Support your observation by citing at least two details from chapter 6 or chapter 9.

Then discuss the reality vs. the portrayal of those earlier movements compared a current movement (like Times Up, March for Our Lives, or Black Lives Matter). Who are the current organizers and mobilizers? What are the key tactics? Which moments are being framed as the sparks or the fuel of the movement?
