Abstract
In the course of history, no group of people has ever achieved their freedom without resistance and sacrifice, from the Israelites’ rebellion against Pharaoh’s oppression to American women fighting for universal suffrage to South African blacks’ long march to end apartheid to sexual minorities worldwide reclaiming their human dignity and equal rights. This lesson from history is just as true for Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement today.
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
—Martin Luther King Jr., “Letter from Birmingham City Jail”
