<\/span><\/p>\n“I think there is no greater invention of the 20th century than<\/h2>\n
Mohandas Gandhi’s invention of a way of making social change<\/h2>\n
without killing and maiming each other,”<\/h2>\n
Diane Nash was a pioneer of the nonviolent civil rights movement. Nash had always<\/h3>\n
experienced Racism, like most other African Americans.She grew up in Chicago, Illinois.<\/h3>\n
As she grew up she attended Howard University for one year in Washington DC, but then<\/h3>\n
transferred to Fisk University an HBC in Tennessee. At this time the schools and buses in<\/h3>\n
Tennessee where integrated however racial discrimination still occurred regularly. Nash<\/h3>\n
gained knowledge of students in Greensboro, North Carolina doing sit-ins, so she and<\/h3>\n
fellow Students from Tennessee did the same. They were beaten, abused, and ended up<\/h3>\n
getting arrested. Nash refused to pay the $50 fine, she felt it went against her cause. She<\/h3>\n
then spent 30 days in jail for her righteous efforts. After her continual protest Nash then<\/h3>\n
began to branch out. She helped found the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee<\/h3>\n
otherwise known as SNCC. Students from who wished to make a change where recruited.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0Accomplishments<\/h3>\n
One Accomplishment was when Diane Nash along with nine other students where arrested<\/h3>\n
and jailed because of lunch counter sit in, The accomplishment was that despite having<\/h3>\n
others offer her bail money she refused to accept it and instead would rather spend that<\/h3>\n
time in jail. To Nash her giving over bail money was her supporting segregation and abuse<\/h3>\n
towards African Americans. This Idea of persevering through struggle became a constant<\/h3>\n
theme with Nash and she spread it to all of her fell SNCC members as they traveled on their<\/h3>\n
Journey SNCC was a movement. Black and White students traveling together, fighting for<\/h3>\n
what they believed in, was a huge statement. Not only did they band together but they<\/h3>\n
endured together as they traveled through the south. When the rides where supposed to<\/h3>\n
stop she made them continue.When the students learned of the bus burning in Anniston<\/h3>\n
and the riot in Birmingham Nash argued that it was their duty to continue.<\/h3>\n
\u00a0Leadership style<\/h4>\n
Endurance:<\/h2>\n
Nash’s leadership style was shown through her non-violent efforts. No matter<\/h3>\n
what pain or abuse she had to experience she never retaliated or acted out of character.<\/h3>\n
She never showed fear nor weakness because she solely believed in her cause, Even<\/h3>\n
throughout the constant threats given to her, the jailing, beating, bombings, and abuse she<\/h3>\n
would continue to move forward. She spent countless hours in jail for her efforts and never<\/h3>\n
once put up bail.<\/h3>\n
