OUR ROLE IN A PROGRESSIVE STRUGGLE
WRITTEN BY ANTHONY SENECAL
Martin Luther King Jr. Malcolm X. Assata Shakur. Medgar Evers. Angela Davis.
Five of the most influential American Civil Rights activists in history, each of whom have been discredited, attacked, or murdered. All five were intelligent, adaptive, charismatic leaders who rallied the people against a common cause-- American systemic racism. Each had their own talents and respective groups who stood behind them, but together they served one purpose.
What each leader understood that made them so effective was the importance of the everyday man and woman being knowledgeable and involved in progressive societal struggle. As time has passed since the struggle of the 50’ s and 60’ s, and so many have been falsely lead to believe the push for progressive causes has been rendered obsolete, it’ s more important than ever for young generations to recognize the importance of their ability to use their voice in modern issues.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
