“I am the tipping point”
It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have. James Baldwin
Freedom and Justice cannot be parceled out in pieces to suit political convenience. I don’t believe you can stand for freedom for one group of people and deny it to others. Coretta Scott King
Read Letter by Coretta Scott King on Newly Confirmed Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
I used to want to be a revolutionary but then I heard of cointelpro
I used to want to get arrested for my freedom, until my family members disappeared into prisons for decades to wear chains

I am a Magnet that the grandmothers and mothers and children of this nation sing to as an ensemble when beginning to shine forth a justice no longer distracted by the terrorism displayed by media and governments

I whisper my revolutionary desires into the abyss of possibility with an audacious hope and a searing hopelessness that often leaves me in silent awe
