Monologues
Civil Rights Organizer Admits Protesters Armed with Rocks Knives and Guns
Matt Walsh Show
Ep. 1777 - Everything That You Were Told About The Civil Rights Movement Was A Lie
What was said
"The students, heeding Bevel's call for nonviolence, pointed at the adults who had rocks, knives, and guns. They identified the people who were throwing things, most likely rocks, at police officers."
Walsh cited James Bevel, an organizer of the 1963 Birmingham Children's Crusade, acknowledging that adult demonstrators came armed with rocks, knives, and guns and threw objects at police. This contradicts the standard textbook narrative of purely peaceful civil rights protests that provoked unprovoked police violence with water cannons.
