Just before Mardi Gras day, Big Chief Monk was diagnosed with cancer. Too weak to march for his 72nd year, he sent his tribe off from his porch with the Mardi Gras Indians’ most sacred hymn. https://t.co/VQCoK6s2Vf

It applies to so many things.

Joanne Chesimard didn’t “fight for justice.” She murdered New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in cold blood, then fled to Cuba to escape accountability. The FBI never stopped calling her what she was: a terrorist.
Mourning her is spitting on the badge and the blood of every cop who gave their life in service.
RIP, Assata Shakur. She passed away yesterday in Havana, Cuba. She died free!
The U.S. government, after decades of pursuit, never got the satisfaction of putting her in a cage. They wanted her bound, broken, and paraded as an example, but instead, she slipped their grip and lived out her life in exile, surrounded by people who honored her struggle and her survival.
For racist white America, she was a fugitive. For us, she was a freedom fighter who refused to bow.
Assata leaves this world with her dignity intact, her story unbent, and her defiance ETERNAL. She was never theirs to claim. She belonged to history, to the people, and to the ongoing fight for liberation. And now, she belongs to the ancestors.
Rest in Power, love. 🖤
