We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

I don’t say this lightly, this may be the most important video right now— from the man who took on the Klan and saw what hate and dangerous rhetoric does first hand.
It’s on all of us to stop the hate
Honor the memory of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, by demanding leaders dial back the toxic rhetoric before more lives are lost.

Four Black girls were murdered in a church for daring to exist in a desegregated America.
Decades later, justice came, because people refused to let the story die.
