Origin Story This is true: my mother and my father... met at the Greyhound bus station in the mid-eighties in Chicago. my mother, all thick glass and afro puff, came west on the train when she was nineteen, lived in a friend’s house and cared for her children, played tambourine in a Chaka Khan cover band. my father, all sleeveless and soft eye, ran away from home when he was seventeen, mimeographed communist newspapers and drew comic books like this one, for sale. one dollar. my mother bought one. love is like a comic book. it’s fragile and the best we can do is protect it in whatever clumsy ways we can: plastic and cardboard, dark rooms and boxes. in this way, something never meant to last might find its way to another decade, another home, an attic, a basement, intact. love is paper. and if my parents’ love was a comic book, it never saw polyvinyl, never felt a backing. it was curled into a back pocket for a day at the park, lent to a friend, read under covers, reread hanging upside-down over the back of the couch, memorized, mishandled, worn thin, staples rusted. a love like that doesn’t last but it has a good ending.

Rodney Glen King (April 2, 1965 June 17, 2012) was an American author and activist who was a victim of police brutality by the Los Angeles Police Department. On March 3, 1991, King was beaten by LAPD officers after a high-speed chase during his arrest for drunk driving on I-210. A civilian, George Holliday, filmed the incident from his nearby balcony and sent the footage to local news station KTLA.[2]:85 The footage showed an unarmed King on the ground being beaten after in...itially evading arrest. The incident was covered by news media around the world and caused a public furor. Many of us were alive and remember that before George Floyd their was Rodney King. I remember where I was when I first saw the footage. I heard then what I hear now that the technology video and cameras being everywhere will solve the problems of police brutality We are now almost in 2021 and there has been even more cameras than we could ever have imagined at that time dealing with the same problem. . . . #changewithoutimprovement #rodneyking #fromrodneykingtogeorgefloyd #policebrutality #policebrutalityawareness #policeterrorism #thingschangeandstaythesame #generationaltrauma #racismwhitesupremacy #drawingourhistory #drawingmypain #drawingismypassion #blackart365 #blackartmatters

John Robert Lewis (February 21, 1940 July 17, 2020) was an American statesman and civil rights leader who served in the United States House of Representatives for Georgia's 5th congressional district from 1987 until his death in 2020. He was the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) from 1963 to 1966. Lewis was one of the "Big Six" leaders of groups who organized the 1963 March on Washington. He fulfilled many key roles in the civil rights movemen...t and its actions to end legalized racial segregation in the United States. In 1965, Lewis led the first of three Selma to Montgomery marches across the Edmund Pettus Bridge. In an incident which became known as Bloody Sunday, state troopers and police attacked the marchers, including John Lewis. . . . #johnlewis #thankyoujohnlewis #sncc #bigsix #marchonwashington #civilrights #civilrightsactivist #civilrightsmovement #civilrightsleader #selmatomontgomery #bloodysunday #struggleforjustice #drawinginprogress #graphitedrawinginprogress #blackart #blackartist #blackartmatters See more

Minister, civil rights activist, vocalist, Jesse Lee Douglas, Sr. was born August 19, 1930 in New Orleans, Louisiana, to William and Isabella Douglas, a Merchant Marine cook and a maid. He attended Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana and Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee before obtaining his divinity degree at the Interdenominational Theological Center in Atlanta, Georgia, the city where in 1960 he, along with other area students, took action to desegregate a cafete...ria frequented by state government employees. A sit-in protest resulted in arrests and the lawsuit Douglas and Reynolds vs. Vandenberg, filed on behalf of the students by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which effectively ended racial separation at all facilities at the Atlanta capitol building. . . . #jesseleedouglas #blackhistory365 #noprogresswithoutstruggle #civilrightsmovement #civilrightsactivist #minister #vocalist #sclc #drawingourhistory #thankyoujesse #drawinginprogress #graphitedrawinginprogress See more

Something I think we are still attempting to confront is what MLK said in 1963. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is th...e absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a more convenient season. Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
