As MLK Jr. Day approaches, educators across the nation will teach about King’s life and works. Countless others will echo his famous quotes. Few will offer a full picture of who King truly was—or of the collectivist movement that surrounded him. https://t.co/kZXgIlezxB

Dear friends, now that our book has been available for little over a year, we are noticing a few errors and things we’d wish to improve. One oversight in particular deserves a public acknowledgement. (post 1/3)
Faith in people is an a priori requirement for dialogue; the "dialogical man" believes in others even before he meets them face to face. (P. Freire in Pedagogy of the Oppressed)
Political action on the side of the oppressed must be pedagogical action in the authentic sense of the word, and, therefore, action "with" the oppressed. - Freire
It is only when the oppressed find the oppressor out and become involved in the organized struggle for their liberation that they begin to believe in themselves. - Freire
Only through comradeship with the oppressed can the converts understand their characteristic ways of living and behaving, which in diverse moments reflect the structure of domination. - Freire
Those who authentically commit themselves to the people must re-examine themselves constantly. This conversion is so radical as not to allow of ambiguous behavior. -Freire
“There are big issues happening in the world. What happens if I can give them something that helps them understand those things and I don’t?” ~Mikel Edillon
