    MLK would only be 91 if he hadn't been assassinated. I say only 91, because there are lots of 91 y/o's around. We often freeze him in Black & white because those are most of the pictures. It creates the impression he died 100 years ago. But he could still be here.

    At the program said when she goes to protest for justice for Eric Gardner peacefully, police show up in riot gear. But when men with guns march for gun rights in VA there’s no police presence in sight. It all makes you wonder who they they intend to protect and serve

    White men carrying assault rifles to the VA state capital. Must’ve traded in the tiki torches this time around. This ain’t about gun rights, it’s about white supremacy, intimidation, and keep Blacks and other nin whites “in their place.”

    There wouldn't be an America without us. The lie has been that our contributions, if any, were singing & labor...The most pivotal contribution is that we built this multi-racial democracy that we have. It wouldn't exist without our freedom struggles"-

    "'We're a nation of immigrants.' That's true for everyone except for the people who were already here & us. It's not incidental that the 2 groups that suffer the most in this country were the only 2 groups that didn’t choose to be part of America." -
