Protesting Movements

     Protesting has helped in the past for those with their own political opinions. For example, women protesting during the Progressive Era and women protesting again for equal rights in 2017. In history, the Kodak camera has helped get protests moving. The camera helped improve newspapers in order to get the message out. Now in present-day, the people are more digital. Photographs are uploaded to news sites.
