Answer:
“We stood firm for what we believed”.
Step-by-step explanation:
Long Haul is the autobiography of Myles Horton, who wrote about his educational approach to the issue of racial discrimination and his ways of dealing with educating the people. He founded the "Highlander Folk School" where the students have the power to control how the classes are run, and the teachers are the helpers.
Written about the black segregation period, education, and his belief of how schools must be run, Horton recalls how his education system helped the people to press on their demands but in a non-violent manner. Teaching the freedom of speech and freedom to discover whatever their interests are, he talks about the ways of the Highlanders' education system. The line that describes people of the sixties were fighting for civil rights is "we stood firm for what we believed", implying that the people were pressing on for their rights even without the need for any violence.
