BBC: Nominate most important political protest

 
Parks was arrested and charged for violating segregation laws

BBC, on its web page, has initiated an interesting project. It is seeking the opinion of its readers to nominate most important political protest.  I thought that this initiative should be supported, that is why I am adding a post for it. Below, some info from the site. All the details in http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/politics_show/4381186.stm

This week the world mourned the death of Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her seat on a bus for a white passenger in Alabama in 1955 galvanised the American civil rights movement.

There have been many popular protests over the years in which ordinary people have challenged governments and changed the course of history. A selection can be viewed on the BBC News player.

Which stand out for you? We are asking you, the viewers, to nominate your top ten
