Topic: The Nonviolent Movement of the 1960's: A Legacy for Today
The philosophy upon which the civil rights movement was based holds many lessons and implications for today. Few people really understand that movement; most know only what they read and saw in the news media. Ms. Nash presented some of the principles and strategy of nonviolence that were used in the 1960s and then explore how this powerful philosophy and approach can be used to bring about social change today at The Chopra Foundation 2013 Sages and Scientists Symposium.
Diane Nash Bio:
A Chicago native who had never experienced segregation in public accommodations before moving to the South, Diane Nash went on to become one of the pioneers of the Civil Rights Movement.
Nash's involvement in the nonviolent movement began in 1959 while she was a student at Fisk University. In 1960 she became the chairperson of the student sit-in movement in Nashville, Tennessee—the first southern city to desegregate its lunch counters—as well as one of the founding students of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee. In 1961 she coordinated the Freedom Ride from Birmingham, Alabama, to Jackson, Mississippi, a story which was documented in the recent PBS American Experience film Freedom Riders.
Her many arrests for her civil rights activities culminated in Nash being imprisoned for 30 days in 1961, while she was pregnant with her first child. Undeterred, she went on to join a national committee—to which she was appointed by President John F. Kennedy—that promoted passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Nash later became active in the peace movement that worked to end the Vietnam War, and became an instructor in the philosophy and strategy of non-violence as developed by Mohandas Gandhi.
Diane Nash is the recipient of numerous awards, including the War Resisters' League Peace Award; the Distinguished American Award presented by the John F. Kennedy Library; the LBJ Award for Leadership in Civil Rights from the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum; and an honorary doctorate of human letters from Fisk University, her alma mater. Most recently, Nash delivered the 2009 Slavery Remembrance Day Memorial Lecture in Liverpool, England.
Her work has been cited in numerous books, documentaries, magazines, and newspaper articles, and she has appeared on such TV shows and films asThe Oprah Winfrey Show,Spike Lee'sFour Little Girls, and PBS'sEyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years 1954-1965.
Ms. Nash is a native and current resident of Chicago, Illinois. After the 1960s, she held several administrative positions in social service agencies in Chicago and was a housing and real estate consultant. Currently, she lectures at colleges and universities and continues to be an activist in civil rights and peace issues. Ms. Nash has a daughter and a son who are adults and she is a grandmother.

As chairperson of the Nashville sit-in group, Nash was a special target of potential violence. She had to conquer her fear to lead.
Diane Nash, a Chicago native, first became actively involved with the Civil Rights Movement in 1959, when she enrolled in Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, and came face to face with the pervasive segregation of the Jim Crow South for the first time in her life. Nash's early efforts included orchestrating the first successful civil rights campaign to de-segregate lunch counters, as well as helping to found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a group that became one of the most influential during the Civil Rights Movement. Nash is widely recognized for her leadership in the Freedom Rides, a campaign to desegregate interstate travel. Nash played a key role in bringing Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. to Montgomery, Alabama on May 21, 1961, in support of the Freedom Riders. Nash later played a major role in the Birmingham de-segregation campaign of 1963, and the Selma Voting Rights Campaign of 1965. In 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King awarded Nash and her husband, James Bevel, SCLC's Rosa Parks Award for their work. Nash remained active throughout the Civil Rights Movement, and later in the Vietnam peace movement.

http://democracynow.org - One notable civil rights activist who did not take part in this weekend's commemorative march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma was Diane Nash, who helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). She spoke at an event honoring civil rights foot soldiers and explained her opposition was based on the participation of former President George W. Bush. "The Selma movement stands for nonviolence and peace and democracy and fairness and voting rights. And George Bush stands for just the opposite. He stands for violence and war and stolen elections, and, for goodness sake, his administration had people tortured." She argues it is a "huge mistake for Americans to leave the future of this country in the hands of elected officials. … Suppose we had waited for elected officials to desegregate lunch counters, buses, and to get the right to vote. I think 50 years later we would still be waiting."

Diane Judith Nash (born May 15, 1938) was a leader and strategist of the student wing of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. A historian described her as: "…bright, focused, utterly fearless, with an unerring instinct for the correct tactical move at each increment of the crisis; as a leader, her instincts had been flawless, and she was the kind of person who pushed those around her to be at their best—that, or be gone from the movement."
Nash's campaigns were among the most successful of the era. Her efforts included the first successful civil rights campaign to de-segregate lunch counters (Nashville); the Freedom riders, who de-segregated interstate travel; founding the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); and the Selma Voting Rights Movement campaign, which resulted in African Americans getting the vote and political power throughout the South.
Nash was born and raised in Chicago. Born to Leon Nash and Dorothy Bolton Nash, her father served in World War II. Her mother, Dorothy, worked as a keypunch operator during the war, leaving Nash in the care of her grandmother, Carrie Bolton. Bolton was a cultured woman, known for her refinement and manners.

Civil Rights Pioneer Diane Nash: I Refused to March with George Bush During Selma Anniversary
http://democracynow.org - One notable civil rights activist who did not take part in this weekend's commemorative march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma was Diane Nash, who helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). She spoke at an event honoring civil rights foot soldiers and explained her opposition was based on the participation of former President George W. Bush. "The Selma movement stands for nonviolence and peace and democracy and fairness and voting rights. And George Bush stands for just the opposite. He stands for violence and war and stolen elections, and, for goodness sake, his administration had people tortured." She argues it is a "huge mistake for Americans to leave the future of this country in the hands of elected officials. … Suppose we had ... -

Topic: The Nonviolent Movement of the 1960's: A Legacy for Today
The philosophy upon which the civil rights movement was based holds many lessons and implications for today. Few people really understand that movement; most know only what they read and saw in the news media. Ms. Nash presented some of the principles and strategy of nonviolence that were used in the 1960s and then explore how this powerful philosophy and approach can be used to bring about social change today at The Chopra Foundation 2013 Sages and Scientists Symposium.
Diane Nash Bio:
A Chicago native who had never experienced segregation in public accommodations before moving to the South, Diane Nash went on to become one of the pioneers of the Civil Rights Movement.
Nash's involvement in the nonviolent movement began in 1959 while she was a student at Fisk University. In 1960 she became the chairperson of the student sit-in movement in Nashville, Tennessee—the first southern city to desegregate its lunch counters—as well as one of the founding students of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee. In 1961 she coordinated the Freedom Ride from Birmingham, Alabama, to Jackson, Mississippi, a story which was documented in the recent PBS American Experience film Freedom Riders.
Her many arrests for her civil rights activities culminated in Nash being imprisoned for 30 days in 1961, while she was pregnant with her first child. Undeterred, she went on to join a national committee—to which she was appointed by President John F. Kennedy—that promoted passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Nash later became active in the peace movement that worked to end the Vietnam War, and became an instructor in the philosophy and strategy of non-violence as developed by Mohandas Gandhi.
Diane Nash is the recipient of numerous awards, including the War Resisters' League Peace Award; the Distinguished American Award presented by the John F. Kennedy Library; the LBJ Award for Leadership in Civil Rights from the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum; and an honorary doctorate of human letters from Fisk University, her alma mater. Most recently, Nash delivered the 2009 Slavery Remembrance Day Memorial Lecture in Liverpool, England.
Her work has been cited in numerous books, documentaries, magazines, and newspaper articles, and she has appeared on such TV shows and films asThe Oprah Winfrey Show,Spike Lee'sFour Little Girls, and PBS'sEyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years 1954-1965.
Ms. Nash is a native and current resident of Chicago, Illinois. After the 1960s, she held several administrative positions in social service agencies in Chicago and was a housing and real estate consultant. Currently, she lectures at colleges and universities and continues to be an activist in civil rights and peace issues. Ms. Nash has a daughter and a son who are adults and she is a grandmother.

As chairperson of the Nashville sit-in group, Nash was a special target of potential violence. She had to conquer her fear to lead.
Diane Nash, a Chicago native, first became actively involved with the Civil Rights Movement in 1959, when she enrolled in Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, and came face to face with the pervasive segregation of the Jim Crow South for the first time in her life. Nash's early efforts included orchestrating the first successful civil rights campaign to de-segregate lunch counters, as well as helping to found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, a group that became one of the most influential during the Civil Rights Movement. Nash is widely recognized for her leadership in the Freedom Rides, a campaign to desegregate interstate travel. Nash played a key role in bringing Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. to Montgomery, Alabama on May 21, 1961, in support of the Freedom Riders. Nash later played a major role in the Birmingham de-segregation campaign of 1963, and the Selma Voting Rights Campaign of 1965. In 1965, Dr. Martin Luther King awarded Nash and her husband, James Bevel, SCLC's Rosa Parks Award for their work. Nash remained active throughout the Civil Rights Movement, and later in the Vietnam peace movement.

http://democracynow.org - One notable civil rights activist who did not take part in this weekend's commemorative march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma was Diane Nash, who helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). She spoke at an event honoring civil rights foot soldiers and explained her opposition was based on the participation of former President George W. Bush. "The Selma movement stands for nonviolence and peace and democracy and fairness and voting rights. And George Bush stands for just the opposite. He stands for violence and war and stolen elections, and, for goodness sake, his administration had people tortured." She argues it is a "huge mistake for Americans to leave the future of this country in the hands of elected officials. … Suppose we had waited for elected officials to desegregate lunch counters, buses, and to get the right to vote. I think 50 years later we would still be waiting."

{Refrain:}
Ca va de plus en plus haut
Ca va de plus en plus vite
Faut maintenir le niveau,
Avant qu'le niveau nous quitte!
Ca va de plus en plus haut
Ca va de plus en plus vite
A nous de suivre le tempo
Pour ne pas s'd?caler sur le beat!
Beat we go
I write now j'suis devenu un accro
Du micro jusqu'au point
O? on nous demande de ne pas faire de propagande
Tant pis pour les gentlemans
Mais si on s'?clate ? tel point
On fait ?a pour les ondes
Rien n'est acquis dans la vie
Tant que t'as les yeux ouverts
Vaut mieux pas qu'tu l?ches l'affaire
Young man
C'est sans r?pis pas d'soucis
Fait seulement c'que t'as ? faire
Et fais confiance au p?re
{au Refrain, x2}
J'suis pas un bon exemple pour les young men
Avec mon fond d'dingue
La raison vl? scon flingue
C'est pas une complainte
Lib?res-toi des contraintes
J'sais pas comment trop t'expliquer
T'as mis les deux doigts dans la prise ou quoi? p'tit excit?
Pas d'imprudences
M?me si y a des impr?vus
Vas droit au but, pense
R?agis assume et continu
Fais comme tu l'sens
Renonce pas m?me si t'es d??u
Ps d'concurence, juste endurance
Bouge ton cul danse !
Sautes dessus
Deux pieds nus sur les braises
L?ve toi relax ! no stress
Tranquille ? l'aise
Fracasse la chaise avant qu'on d?connecte
Bient?t la chute de la com?te sur le lance roquette
Non j'd?connais micro test 1.Rien n'est acquis
Et si tu crois avoir un instant d'r?pis
C'est que t'es bon ? te frotter les couilles sur du cr?pis
Faut faire ces sons car la maison ne fait plus cr?dit ancien petit grands objectifs
Are you ready ???
