In “Let Nobody Turn Us Around,” Washington depicts a traditional Civil Rights era protest scene, featuring a crowd of demonstrators taking to the streets to fight segregation and Jim Crow. As a result of these protesters’ non-violent tactics (which were commonly met with brutal violence from southern authorities), many of the segregationist policies of the south were eventually overturned.
