What did Gandhi actually accomplish with all those people clogging the temple road, or walking to sea to dump a spoonful of salt? What did those marchers on the Edmund Pettis bridge actually do as they were getting beaten down by the thugs with their sticks and bats? Did lunch counters immediately throw open the doors to everyone when a bunch of people sat down where they weren't allowed to sit? There was a lot more room and the buses ran their routes a lot faster in Montgomery after the likes of Rosa Parks and her friends quit riding.
