### In the lessons

In citizenship and history lessons, protesters have changed laws, for example suffragettes for women's votes and civil rights marchers in the USA. In news, protesters march about climate, wars, jobs or prices; in many countries peaceful protest is a right. Some protests turn violent, and police manage crowds.
