Which of the abolitionists' tactics might be used effectively today to advance a social cause? What strategies for mobilizing change are used today in protest movements in the United States and around the world? (For example, democratic protests in the Middle East, Occupy Wall Street, and others.) Students write one-page proposals for how one specific strategy should be used or adapted today by an advocacy group, existing or imagined, to advance the cause of their choice, drawing on their understanding of how tactics were or are used effectively for abolition.
