Kent State.
Mass troops in the streets against organized kids marching at them yelling slogans against the war "Hell NO we won't go!"
Kids putting flowers in the ends of rifle barrels as those rifle barrels are pointed at them.
Blacks rebelling about civil rights.
Women trying to get heard and have their rights.

Where has the rebellion gone?
Where has the organized rebellion gone?
