It's cool anger is a very valid emotion. It can drive a lot of positive change. If your a new to activism I encourage you to read: Walking with the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement by John Lewis So glad to have you aboard.
Read [Walking With the Wind][http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Wind-A-Memoir-Movement/dp/0156007088]... it is a fantastic civil rights memoir that will give you all the gory details of the sort of brutal violence protesters faced. On a regular basis at protests people were killed or permanently crippled or brain damaged from police or civilians. Like these guys were literally risking their lives at every protest.
I had seen the pictures of the dogs and fire hoses but before reading that book I just thought "well that's pretty bad abuse"... now I realize that especially earlier in the movement and at less media-covered events death or permanent crippling injury was possible.
Fucking brave men, women, and children to stand up to that threat, especially knowing that if you fight back it will only get worse for you and the movement.
Also recommend Walking With The Wind by Lewis!
