One of the most beneficial things about immersing yourself in deep study of American history is that you get to a point where this country can no longer effectively lie to you about why it is the way it is. It disabuses you of the notion that the inequality we see is an accident.
This is how u diminish the "political" in political identities. Mention a resurgence, but throw in Vogue magazine fashion reference to buffer the "militant" image.Resurgence of Xicanismx speaks to a collective political urgency that we don't need Vogue to validate @dennisjromero https://t.co/YqwtXqn7X5
"Arming teachers will not work. More security in our schools does not work. Zero tolerance policies do not work," student Edna Chavez says. "They make us feel like criminals. We should feel supported & empowered in our schools." https://t.co/jujbxM0M4i #MarchForOurLives
All #journalist listen closely to 11-year-old Naomi Wadler who says she is representing African American girls & women who don't make the front page of major newspapers & the evening #news when they're murdered. She is right. Latinas victims are also ignored. #MarchForOurLives
Her name is Naomi Wadler, she is 11 years old from Alexandria, VA, and is quoting Toni Morrison. Nothing but respect for MY president!! https://t.co/5LpBgqstU5
"People have said I"m a tool for some adult. It's not true." Naomi Wadler "... I am here today to honor the words of Toni Morrison: 'If there is book you want to read but no one has written it, you must be the one to write it.'"
"I represent the African-American women who are victims of gun violence, who are simply statistics instead of vibrant, beautiful girls full of potential." –Naomi Wadler, 11 #MarchforOurLives
Emma Gonzales held 6 minutes of silence for her slain classmates.
Watch as conservatives criticize her and you realize that they are way more critical of 6 minutes of silence than 6 minutes of slaughter.
