The problem with the so-called "nonviolence" of the Civil Rights Era is that it is misnarrated. The retelling in the "American myth of progress" version of the Civil Rights movement was that it was completely nonviolent.
That is not true. Plus let's call it its full name "nonviolent direct action"

In a small fact that did make me smile a bit today,
At the age of 84, Jesse Jackson passed this morning...
on the very day Huey P Newton would've turned 84.
I like to believe that coincidences are the ancestors making meaning

History will be kind to Jesse Jackson. Today is his 84th birthday.

Happy Birthday Brotha Jackson

Jesse Jackson is gonna get slandered a lot today by "the others."
Please dont help them.
The problem with getting old is that you dont get to die young in all your glory and best days.
People get to see your full humanity and imperfections.
Like normal

The green area needs a title and color change: 🟧"EFFORTS TO REVERSE PROGRESS"🟧
People like Edward Blum and Stephen Miller are at the forefront of those efforts, and obviously the twice-elected racist felon who said “White people were very badly treated..." as a result of the civil rights movement🤦🏿♂️

I feel for anyone who comes across Mary Turner 1918 for the first time.
I saw someone earlier say they accidentally stumbled across it, and everytime I remember how horrified I was.
it shook me to my very core
