Truth

“When people are voiceless, they will have temper tantrums like a child who has not been paid attention to. And riots are massive temper tantrums from a neglected and voiceless people.”

I’ve been prepping a summer enrichment section for my students on the late 1960s and early 1970s. So much of what King, Carmichael, Davis and others said then is applicable now, and the forces of reaction and counterrevolution used the same tactics then as now.

It’s a hard thing.
