The burden of wrking for racial justice is laid on the very people bearing the brunt of the injustice, and not the powerful people who maintain it @nhannahjones
"Everyone creates fake CVs for H-1B visas... There are companies that help you create [fake CVs]. This is an open secret... I don't even know why the government of the United States does nothing about it." -@JayantBhandari5

"From a cracked-roof in one room (fallen recently) house in Visakhapatnam, India, I am beginning a journey to create a memorable tribute to the 250th Birthday of the United States of America. Watch this space."
🧵 57 years ago today.
Me and my mother, #CorettaScottKing, at my father, Rev. Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr’s, funeral service at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
I’m sharing this thread of photos, not to cause sadness, but to remind us of a cause as critical today as it was then.
The Triple Evils (racism, poverty, and militarism) that my father was working to eradicate still persist.
As a result, families, communities, villages, and nations are mourning at this very moment.
Daddy wasn’t assassinated because he said he wanted his children to be judged “by the content of their character.”
He was gunned down because he was courageously and strategically working to dismantle those Triple Evils.
He was speaking truth to power in government, media, and religion about the Vietnam War, about economic injustice + racial injustice, about ‘The Other America’ (https://t.co/n83Fs6o2zY), about the violence of the U.S. government.
We can overcome and eradicate persistent evils with persistent, consistent good, as demonstrated by truth and strategic, love-centered, courageous action.
My parents believed.
I believe.
