History reveals that the younger generation finds the courage to stand up and become the initial catalyst sparking social movements across the globe. The ANC Youth League is but one example of many throughout history: the Little Rock 9 in the US Civil Rights Movement; Chinese students' protest for democracy in Tiananmen Square; youth activism in Arab Spring protests; and student actions in Tucson's Ethnic Studies movement. Documentation of these and other social movements tend to underestimate the important role of youth in bringing about social change. Furthermore, often forgotten or not acknowledged is the leadership and contributions of young women and LGBTQ youth in these struggles. Whether analyzing movements at the global, national or local levels, it is the most marginalized youth (youth of color, young women and LGBTQ youth) who have been active participants with striving for justice.
