10/ find and build one." (p. 189)

The discussion he gives of what Black Power means, why it has arisen, what is can do for folks, and comparisons of Jimmy Lee Jackson & James Reeb could be spoken/written today with a few changes here & there. The chapter is "Black Power"

9/ healthy internal difference of opinion, but the press loves the sensational and it could not allow the issue to remain within the private domain of the movement. In every drama there has to be an antagonist and a protagonist, and if the antagonist is not there the press will

8/ not on the injustices of Mississippi, but on the apparent ideological division in the civil rights movement. Every revolutionary movement has its peaks of united activity and its valleys of debate and internal confusion. This debate might well have been little more than a

7/ created by the fact of contact." (p. 185)

There was an agreement to not use the slogan or "Freedom Now" slogan to halt tensions among the marchers & be a sign of unity. However . . .

6/ the raw material out of which all life must be created. A productive and happy life is not something that you find; it is something that you make. And so the ability of Negroes and whites to work together, to understand each other, will not be found ready-made; it must be

5/ those in power, are racist in attitude and practice, bitterness accuses the whole group." (p. 184)

4/ reminded that disappointment produces despair and despair produces bitterness, and that the one thing certain about bitterness is its blindness. Bitterness has not the capacity to make the distinction between some and all. When some members of the dominant group, particularly

3/ surprised. I should have known that in an atmosphere where false promises are daily realities, where deferred dreams are nightly facts, where acts of unpunished violence toward Negroes are a way of life, nonviolence would eventlually be seriously questioned. I should have been

2/ poignant for the 61st Anniversary of Bloody Sunday (Selma to Montgomery March).

Thread: Today's #LentKing2026 is one that I have read parts of but not the whole chapter. It is Dr. King talking about "Black Power" & when Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael) used the slogan during the Mississippi march with SCLC, CORE, & SNCC for James Meredith in 1966. Seems /1

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

Funny they say the county is to big to govern & that people in different sections have different needs, yet I am guessing many of those same folks want to split SLC when it comes to districting with the argument of wanting "rural/urban" fed districts.

One of those clips where you really have to watch the whole thing, because reading the most egregious quote in the rant doesn’t fully capture how 1) racist, and 2) cognitively impaired the president is.

Would not this be the same senator who went to Georgia after the 2020 election to talk with folks there? The same one who had a close friend run for POTUS as the person joked about "Bomb, bomb, bomb; bomb, bomb, Iran"?

For all the sweet tea in the world . . .

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
