The Occupy Wall Streeters weren't the first Americans to march through the streets. In this class, we'll take a look at the United States during the 20th century, when society was electrified by men and women who fought for freedom, even as they were hated by most of the country. We'll examine the tactics that American radicals perfected, and discuss why some radical groups were successful, while others weren't. Get ready to learn about Malcolm X, unions, Martin Luther King, and how hippies actually accomplished something.
