One of the most famous quotes from the Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson himself, was the line,”…all men were created equal…” he believed everyone was born equal and should be treated equally. Most of the protests we see today are either about racial rights, gay rights, gender equality, woman’s rights, or about unfair laws placed upon the people by the government. All these protests vary in size or amounts of people partaking in the event, but nonetheless all have people fighting for their own rights and to be treated as equally as the next person.
