ABSTRACT Dr. Bourland-Davis’s address was not presented in the usual forum at the conference, given its cancellation as part of the novel coronavirus pandemic response. Offered here, she looks at crossroads in activism, especially those tied to the 2019 Montgomery conference location. With activism, elements such as timing and events propel individuals to respond, and the events which engage activists require considerable planning. Using the stories of Jo Ann Robinson, Georgia Teresa Gilmore, and John Lewis, she provides examples of these elements in the bus boycott and the March to Montgomery. She encourages faculty to pursue the stories of activists, many of whom are not well known, and to use these stories in classes as a way to inspire students to learn from the crossroads.

2020年SSCA总统演讲：十字路口的积极分子

摘要Bourland-Davis博士的讲话并未在会议的一般论坛上发表，因为它已被取消，这是新型冠状病毒大流行反应的一部分。她在这里提供了关于行动主义的十字路口，特别是与2019年蒙哥马利会议地点相关的十字路口。通过激进主义，诸如时间安排和事件之类的因素会促使个人做出回应，而激进主义者参与的事件则需要进行大量的计划。她利用乔·安·罗宾逊（Jo Ann Robinson），佐治亚州特蕾莎·吉尔莫（George Teresa Gilmore）和约翰·刘易斯（John Lewis）的故事，举例说明了抵制公交车和游行到蒙哥马利的这些元素。她鼓励教师们去探究活动家的故事，其中许多人并不为人所知，并在课堂上使用这些故事作为激发学生从十字路口学习的一种方式。
