Was also thinking of "There's gonna be an even bigger parade when your big fat fascist ass is gone" and "This sign is too small to list all ways Trump is a pathetic weak little pansy boy."

55 years later, words that still ring true today. Thanks Museum of the City of NY, for fantastic exhibits on Chisholm, graffiti and protest movements. Can’t think of a better way to honor Dr. King today. ✊🏻
