Societies View Changes in Time
John Brown - The famed abolitionist leader would probably be labeled as an “Insurgent” and a terrorist by our current government and those labels would be repeated by the many media sources without much critique or analysis. Whether one believes the fact that he was fighting against injustice for the rights of oppressed people, his resistance would be intolerable. Therefore, I ask you to wonder how many leaders are considered marginalized “Insurgents” in their field of work today. I further challenge you on whether the discomfort of any particular insurgent might be remembered more fondly in the future, as some remember the noble fight of John Brown. Strives in societies evolution did not occur with the acceptance of the norm, but with individuals willing to be first.
