On Malcolm X's birthday, I think about him & Rosa Parks.They meet for the first time in 1963 because he puts out the word he wants to meet her. Courage needs courage; activists need other activists. He talked about 2 civil rights activists with awe-Rosa Parks & Fannie Lou Hamer.

You mean like Jubilee? Debt forgiveness? The return of lost land? Release from economic enslavement? Putting in place social systems to eradicate poverty? The redistribution of wealth? Establishing justice in the public square? Absolutely won't apologize for any of that

People using “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” to deter discussion of, teaching about, and protest against racism are not students of the comprehensive #MLK. My father’s dream and work included eradicating racism, not ignoring it.

Ordering 1.1 million people to evacuate an area in 24 hours is an impossible task. There are people who remain in hospitals in northern Gaza who can’t be moved. Israel must rescind the order, abide by international law & prevent mass atrocities against the Palestinian people.
