Rest Easy Dr. King.


The work that brother has put in is being undone DAILY!! Shame, some of it is on us as a people…

 

[Plankton]

The fact that this thread isn't doing numbers speaks volumes.

What happened after for say... the proceeding thirty years was even more telling to how we got here...

"I'm afraid that I have integrated my people into burning house." -MLK

But the work that he did and many others did can never be forgotten or dismissed. It brought us one step closer to freedom.

Had no idea this was today. Crazy cuz we tend to think 60 years is a lot of time but, in the grand scheme of things, we really aren’t that far removed.

Unpopular opinion. If MLK lived till the 2000s, I wonder if he'd question if we should have integrated.

I just saw that today was the anniversary. Thank you to all the people who worked hard for this and to those who gave their lives.

“B-b-but slavery was a long time ago. Let it go. You guys have been free for 100s of years.”



A Cac will say that shyt like the Civil Rights Act was signed into law in the 1800s.

yes thank you all to those people..At the same time we have disgraced their legacy by sitting on our collective asses and progressing forward, socially or financiall...The African American today is still in the same position that he was in yesterday in 1964..and in many ways there has been a regression considering the other cultures and ethnicities that have moved in and now dominate the African American in every facet of society..shameful

60 years isn't very long ago. Yet people see a bunch of black and white photos and say that we need to move on and get over it and it doesn't affect us anymore

 

[RickyDiBiase]

and we gonna be around to see it get overturned too.
