Have been thinking a lot about #community lately; all the definitions of all the permutations - from looking out for our next door neighbour to our #responsibilities as global citizens.
For better or for worse, we are bound to each other & each little thing we do (or don't do) will eventually affect us all.
“We are each other's harvest;
we are each other's business;
we are each other's magnitude and bond.”
~ #GwendolynBrooks, from her #poem '#PaulRobeson'

In 1956, #PaulRobeson testified before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee and refused to bow to "fascist-minded people." We need that attitude more than ever. https://progressive.org/latest/Remembering-Paul-Robeson-VonBlum-20230407/?mc_cid=58dad030d2&mc_eid=42caf3e016
