Hey, y’all. Othello is currently taking a break so I thought I’d jumpstart the new thread since nobody else was getting to it.
How are we all doing this week? Sound down below! That means: vent, chat, gush, etc. Whatever you want to say or talk about.
As always: no crackers allowed!
Bonus discussion question:
Who are your favorite BIPOC or ethnic minority activists, organizers, labor union reps., leaders, etc. out there?
Emphasis on activists and organizers.
Can be such figures as Cesar Chavez, Rosa Parks, MLK, Jr., etc.
I want y’all to think about this one (but, like, it’s not a prerequisite for joining this thread or making comments within it).
Take care and have fun!
What did he say about Huey Newton?
A lot of Panthers attacked him later on, but to be honest, I always viewed them as “the ones that left” rather than “the ones that stayed.”
This is one of the things I wish I could have asked him. He never really talked much about his days in the Black Panther Party, partially because retail setting didn’t really allow for much deep discussion.
Oh good point.
So you met them in a retail setting lol
That definitely wouldn’t allow for much room.
