Please DON’T SCROLL BY. Experience this. 58 years ago today, a portion of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s last sermon, ‘The Drum Major Instinct,’ was played during his funeral service at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. Dr. King’s brother, Rev. A.D. King, is seated next to Coretta Scott King and 5-year-old Bernice A. King.

Congolese distrust of Wstn aid fueled by generational abuse: "An angry crowd gathered outside the hospital’s front gate, where armed soldiers stood guard. “Killers!” people shouted at us when we arrived, confusing us for foreign aid workers.

On the same day that the World Health Organization (WHO) reported over 1,000 suspected cases of Ebola and 200 suspected deaths, Congolese politicians introduced a bill for a referendum that would enable President Tshisekedi to stay in power beyond his two-term mandate. #Shame

What if we followed Fannie Lou Hamer’s #FreedomDemocraticParty example, run our own slate of representatives and challenge to have them seated?
What if we hold a parallel people’s government if that slate is turned away?
What if Black Voters form a PanAfrican political party?

In a state where Black people are already UNDERREPRESENTED-with 25% of the population, the sole district, is being eliminated. America’s cradle of the Confederacy is THAT corrupt and racist. @DNC…? #BoycottSEC

Black Studies is one of the most important fields of research in the United States because it does not merely study society; it studies the machinery that has organized society through domination, theft, oppression, racial hierarchy, and white supremacist violence. More than almost any other discipline, Black Studies confronts white supremacism not as an abstract prejudice, but as a global system that has shaped law, education, medicine, capitalism, policing, housing, war, culture, and the very meaning of who gets to be seen as fully human.

That is why its enemies are never accidental. It is no coincidence that white supremacists—whether white themselves or non-white people seeking refuge in the privileges of whiteness—consistently attempt to dismantle Black Studies. They are not simply afraid of a curriculum. They are afraid of what happens when Black students gain access to the intellectual tools to name the world, critique the world, and remake the world. They are threatened by Black presence in spaces they imagined as white, white-adjacent, or obedient to white approval.

Black Studies is dangerous to them because it teaches that oppression is not natural, that history is not neutral,that liberation is not a fantasy, and that liberators are to be loved and honored. It exposes the lie beneath the institution(s). It reminds us that the classroom can become a site of struggle, that study can become a form of resistance, and that knowledge, when rooted in Black epistemology, and consciousness, can become a weapon against the world that tried to bury it.

Always pay close attention to the things your enemies want eradicated and erased. Because what they try to strangle and suffocate, is often where the truth is alive and breathing.

Superb to learn so much in Burkina Faso about the revolutionary process as it evolves, with tough times ahead and complexities on that road. But the shining example of Thomas Sankara, my hero when I was in college, and the Burkinabé Revolution remains intact.
