  1. Prominent #CivilRights leaders and #activists would come out against the US war on #Vietnam as the decade wore on. In 1967, #MartinLutherKingJr. told the Harlem Riverside Church congregation that:

    “It would be very inconsistent for me to teach and preach nonviolence in this situation and then applaud violence when thousands of thousands of people, both adults and children, are being maimed and mutilated and many killed in this way.”

    Fewer than two weeks later, King would lead a 125,000-person #protest against the war.

  4. 📰 O @SetentaeQuatro entrevistou Cristina Roldão, José Augusto Pereira e Pedro Varela, autores do livro "Tribuna Negra" (Tinta da China), sobre a história do movimento negro em Portugal.

    José Augusto Pereira, nosso doutorando, diz que "o que este livro procura demonstrar é que a luta contra o racismo, as manifestações políticas e a crítica ao colonialismo andam de mãos dadas."

The hashtags like #BlackMastodon can make their centralized dispersion stronger here than Twitter. Black voices have consistently celebrated survival of so much horrific history, I don’t see that changing. #KamalaHarris ’s #JoyfulWarrior appellation resonated for a reason
