THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Education
“Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey Douglass has paved the
road for me to be the man that I am today, now I must live on my own
legacy. I will work until the job is done, I will pray until a change has
come, I will serve until the victory is won.”
- Frederick Douglass IV
Stage performance for students by Mrs. BJ and Mr. Frederick Douglass, IV “Once you learn to read, you will be forever free” - Frederick Douglass (photo credit: Melani Douglass)
F rederick Douglass, IV and his wife B.J., founders of The
Frederick Douglass Organization (FDO) and their children,
Melani & Ciheed, are dedicated to perpetuating the legacy of
the famed orator, author, statesman and editor through lecturing
and re-enacting speeches and life episodes of Frederick Augus-
tus Washington Bailey Douglass.
The major thrusts of this organization are promoting finan-
cial literacy, saving our youth; bridging the digital divide; and;
increasing opportunities for small businesses through economic
development. FDO awards scholarships to deserving students
and makes them aware that the genesis of transforming their
lives revolves around providing themselves with opportunities
to enhance their reading, writing, and oratorical skills through
involving them in real life, real time experiences that serve to
enhance their skills in these vital areas as well as building self
esteem.
This Organization augments its activities by conducting
diversity workshops to encourage participants from different
racial, religious, gender and age groups to engage in honest
dialogues that promote greater understanding of how we must
change to become more sensitive and caring Americans.
FDIV is a lecturer and journalist, his wife B. J. is a sought
after minister, motivational speaker, recording artist (“You Are
My Hero”) and diversity trainer.
This dynamic duo, exemplifies the rule for American couples
of their generation. They often say we are not the exception,
we are the rule. Most couples are like us or even better. What
you see on television and in the news is the exception of which
we are, we are a very sophisticated group of people with high
standards. The Douglass family travels throughout the nation
and the world bringing history alive through a dramatization that
mesmerize audiences from 8 to 80.
