Really enlightening article. Reminds us of the courage of people who used their voices to stand up for justice: Muhammad Ali, Dr King, the poetry of Gil Scott Heron. Also reminds us of the power of the protest song. Those were the days when people were clear sighted about what needed to change. I think we lack that clarity nowadays. Governments have not lost the ability to convince populations that we still need wars. We don't.
I guess we will continue to repeat history -- distant and near.
If not us; not them
If not now; then when?
If not here nor there
If not this world
Then where? -- John Gorka
I just got through watching some clips of Chuck Todd's interview with Ramswamy (is that his name -- no sense in caring), and it seems maybe poor folks should just "shut the hell up," and let the rich call the shots. Can't wait for trump to look into his birth certificate. Peace, Angel.

Thank you! And thanks especially for reminding why clearly stating our demands is incredibly essential !

Thanks for sharing the full verse! It packs a lot more power in its entirety! Peace, Christopher!
