" offers the extraordinary little-told story of the first year the was put to the test, in 1966, deep in the heart of the Jim Crow South. That election would reverberate across the nation, from Alabama to Oakland to the halls of Congress, changing the course of history through to the battles of today."

Been doing the work and fighting for equality for decades, and have the receipts. I’ve found that struggling for social justice is a lifelong commitment, and there are no quick fixes. Resistance comes from many corners; political, corporate, white culture, now even education. The established and entrenched elites like the way things work now, regardless of consequences for the rest of us and the planet. I’m pleased (and relieved) to see an army of Gen X, Y, Z and beyond rising to the occasion, already carrying the torch. New generations of warriors taking the fight to the fascists. I’d encourage younger warriors to keep fighting regardless of setbacks, frustration and significant headwinds. We WILL win in the end. Here’s a bit of my personal history with the movement.

On Feb. 8, 1968, state police fired into a crowd of unarmed studentswho were protesting racial segregation at a bowling alley in Orangeburg, South Carolina. At least 27 were injured, and three people were killed.

' Governor McNair blamed “Black power advocates” for the “violence” of the massacre. '
