The people behind this channel do more than provide historical information and context about events that have shaped our country. CrashCourse provides the bridge from then to now, with relevance that we can apply here in the present. ❤ CrashCourse

I am neither black nor American but this series is so informative and interesting, it's really really developed my interest in black American history - which I didn't know anything about realistically before I started watching. Thanks so much, crash course. If it weren't for well-explained, high-quality FREE videos like this I probably would've gone my whole life just wondering but never learning!

I took an entire American History and I can believe that not even once they mention such major events. This is an essential and critical part of American history, not just black history. Those students were incredibly courageous and the real OG’s. I will love this to be broadcasted everywhere as an example of Black determination and ambition 🔥🔥🔥

I grew up down the road from Greensboro and the sit-ins were always the center of our Civil Rights education. Even took a field trip to the former woolworths store which is now the GBO Civil Rights Museum, and Mr. McCain even came to our class in 7th grade to talk about his experience then.

My late father was part of the lunch counter sit ins, as a mediator, but jailed with the rest of the protesters. It was one of his proudest moments in a life full of accomplishment.

The Freedom Riders were/are all tremendously heroic! I’m extremely proud to be associated with them. Every volunteer that participated knew exactly what their commitment meant. It meant they were committing fully: up to, and including injury or death. They were literally putting their lives up for sacrifice, if it was required of them. There is no greater, more honorable service than what they all did for this country.

Eisenhower didn't pick just any federal troops to escort the Nine; he sent 1,000 U.S. Army troops from the 101st Airborne Division (the 327th Airborne Battle Group, or “Bastogne Bulldogs”). This was both a theatrical assignment, and a practical one. Everyone in America had heard of the 101st Airborne Division… and likewise, those men were not the kind to shrink from conflict.

Thank you to Crash Course for providing a free resource that allows me to repair the wholes left by my shoddy education.

I'm so glad to have finally found a video about this topic that I feel like I can trust. I keep looking for information for my history homework (and also because it's cool to learn about these amazing pressure groups and activists) and I couldn't find anything that was engaging and that I feel is reliable until I found this video

There aren't many KZbin series that I can say make me want to read more about something, but this is definitely one.

This is so interesting! I wish we learned more about this in schools across Europe.

John Lewis was one of the Freedom Riders who was beaten up by the Klan in Anniston and went on to speak at the March on Washington, so he already had some serious street cred when his skull was cracked by the Alabama State Police after crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge.
