First, in my estimation there were roughly 30 people in attendance, including members of the public, city government officials, and media. Apart from myself there was no masking. There appeared to me no COVID-19 safety precautions in place, there was space for some distancing

@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale There's more. Let's explore the history of "The Establishment" relationship with PA movements & thus reveal the Pan-European nature of US/Western Imperialism.
1. The US Government collaborated with the Belgian, French & British Governments to Assassinate Patrice Lumumba in 1961.

@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 2. The USA Governent were the principal backers of the brutal Mobutu regime In Congo. When PA forces (e.g. The Rebellion lead by Piere Mulule) rose up, the US sent troops to crush the Rebellion; as well suppress PA orgs in the USA who declared solidarity with the ppl of Congo.
@guy_law @kzshabazz @Respec_ADOS @DOmowale 3. The CIA expended considerable resources spying on & trying to undo the work of Omowale Malcolm X while he was travelling through Afrika. They even attempted to posion him in Egypt. Numerous articles by now known FBI journalists plastered the media opposing his actions.
We're uniting virtually to join the #VotingRightsMarch on the 58th anniversary of the historic March on Washington.
As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “our most urgent request to the president of the United States and every member of Congress is to give us the right to vote.”

As a professor @LinfieldUniv and a white Oregonian carrying the knowledge of our state’s racist past, I take the NAACP seriously. But this “report” is bogus.
The report cites Davis’s accomplishments at @LinfieldUniv as though they prove him innocent of other problematic behavior. Pro-tip: people do both good things and bad things. #linfield #naacp
The report says that accusations by faculty that Davis has been “divisive,” “abusive,” and “combative” constitute coded racism, arising from our implicit bias against him as a Black man. But there is no evidence presented for this claim.
#MLKDay にキング牧師を追悼して「平等を求める戦いにおいて愛とその信念を体現した英雄に敬意を表して」とツイートした #マクナニー大統領報道官 に対して #NAACP 公式「ヘイトに満ちたレトリックを撒き散らしていた者が平等と真実のために生涯を捧げた人間の言葉を語るなど言語道断」とピシャリ。
（続き）「しかもその間あなたは、近年最もヘイトに満ち分断を煽ってきた政権に身を置いてたのだから。 #MLKDay は行動を呼びかける日だが、あなたに求める行動は。黙れ！だ。」
この模様、英紙インディペンデントの記事から拾いました。実は幕ナニー報道官、かつてオバマ前大統領のことでレイシストなツイートをしていたのです。それを一斉に方々から「これあなた？」指摘され、炎上しまくったのです。その模様は下記記事をご覧ください。ツイートの流れを辿るだけでもわかります
Prosecutor #Klobuchar failed to file charges against the cop who killed 15-year-old #CourtneyWilliams in 2004. #SayHisName #BlackLivesMatter news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/2004/…
On 11/23/04, #CourtneyWilliams's mother wrote to #Klobuchar, begging her to prosecute the cop who killed her 15-year-old child. Klobuchar failed to prosecute any of 29 police killings. features.apmreports.org/documents/?doc…
To #Klobuchar from Tahisha Williams Brewer: "I am the mother of #CourtneyWilliams, who was shot by #Minneapolis Police." A homicide detective told Brewer the case would go to a grand jury. She asked, "Why does it *have* to be sent to a grand jury?"

He taught at many universities and wound up becoming chair of the NAACP. We should all strive to live a life as Julian, as he had such an impact and legacy devoted to helping his community.
