first words Sonya Massey said at her front door were “don’t hurt me”

she was told “why would we hurt you, you called us”

when have those words meant anything when your black and woman in this country

when do those words protect you from not being murdered in your kitchen, in your bedroom, with your babies, or on your lawn

what is “reassurance”, in this place ?

rest in power Sonya Massey, and an abundance of love and power to Sonya’s family on this journey

You’ve probably heard of Bobby Seale and The Black Panthers, and Mario Savio and The Free Speech Movement.

But California and the Bay Area also were a hotbed of radical South Asian activism that began more than 100 years ago.
