Can you give some examples of methods that people have used to fight for human rights? How effective were those methods? What was the outcome for various people involved?

Riots, marches, joining a group, not attending school/jobs

Riots usually ended up w a lot of death and destruction. It makes people turn their heads, but it potentially leads to more violence and anger. However, sometimes it feels the only way to make them notice.
Marches like MLK’s we're great! They show a big crowd of people who want their rights and I think it makes people want to join in more when it's peaceful, and you're showing that you're the animals they portray you to be. However even marches lead to the police fighting to stop it.
Joining a group had a place for others to feel heard and procrastinate a way to solve the problem.
Not attending school/jobs showed others how much of an impact their kind had on the world. For example, Mexicans will skip school and jobs to show how much they do for the community!
