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.

Everything you love about America comes from Black people. And that's just the bottom line.

We may have been brought here against our will, but it's survived this long because of our presence.

It was in the early morning of Valentine's Day 1965 that Malcolm X's home was firebombed while he, his wife, and their four daughters were inside.

Everyone survived the attack, but exactly one week later Malcolm would be assassinated

It's too neat. too much "linear progression narrative."

I get it trying to make a point, but there's so much nuance to these colors.

And that green area is extremely misleading. But that's just me

This is inherently why capitalism is unwilling to pull us out of the climate crisis, and the majority of our scientific success is not a result of free market economics, but rather from coordinated, industrial-scale planning, feeding on previous successes.
