Dear politicians/political influencers:

When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.

Don’t just quote him.

Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

You can't understand 1776 if you don't understand 1619. July 4, 1776 when the colonists declared independence, 1/5 of the population of the 13 colonies was enslaved. They would not gain freedom for a century. This, too, is the 4th of July. This, too, is the story of America.

On Malcolm X's birthday, I think about him & Rosa Parks.They meet for the first time in 1963 because he puts out the word he wants to meet her. Courage needs courage; activists need other activists. He talked about 2 civil rights activists with awe-Rosa Parks & Fannie Lou Hamer.
