Bringing down a dictator: OTPOR

Youth are powerful. If you do not know this, then take note. A decade ago a group of Serbian youth led the completely non-violent social movement that overthrew a dictator. 


Bringing Down a Dictator"Their weapons were rock concerts and ridicule, the internet and email, spray-painted slogans and a willingness to be arrested. Otpor students became the shock troops in an army of human rights, pro-democracy, anti-war, women’s groups, and opposition political parties."
