This is why i get upset when folks discredit activist work in the South. You gotta have extra smarts, optimism, & conviction because you have structural powers & old-fashion cultural weight against you.

My activism was stronger when I lived in Mississippi than anywhere else.

[Palette Poetry @PalettePoetry]

new #poetry! today we're absolutely delighted to publish a poem of Noreen Ocampo's (@maybenoreen), "There Are No Filipinos in Mississippi,"
