MLK believed in nonviolent direct action. Stop removing the “action” because doing so is misleading. Police arrested him 29 times throughout his life for peacefully protesting racial apartheid. Most White people did not approve of his methods.
Don's tweet is the result of the decades long (often bi-partisan) project of pacifying the real history of the Civil Rights Movement. Peaceful nonviolence included disruption and those claiming otherwise don't know enough history to be taken seriously.

ALERT: A federal district court in Louisiana ruled 2-1 that the legislature’s new map remedying an undeniably unconstitutional racial gerrymander is unlawful. To be clear, this map replaces one that deliberately dilutes the voting power of Louisiana’s Black voters.
Folks don’t know the history of Civil Rights protests on college campuses. At the University of Minnesota the Black Student Union took over Morris Hall and specifically the President’s office. Their actions led to the creation of the Africana Studies department. 1/
These institutions advertised their history of activism to attract students. Now they are attacking those students for believing them.

The most famous magazine cover about the Atlanta Race Massacre was in a French journal. Ida B. Wells was forced to engage in international advocacy to raise the profile of the US anti-lynching cause. And the list goes on. Very important in this moment.

When the South has trouble with its Negroes—when the Negroes refuse to remain in their “place”—it blames “outside” agitators and “Northern interference.” When the nation has trouble with the Northern Negro, it blames the Kremlin. - James Baldwin, 'Nobody Knows My Name,' 1961

Americans' ahistorical understanding of the US' racist history runs so deep that being historically accurate will have people believing you're a conspiracy theorist.
They want to bring whites-only communities back in Louisiana.

a desperate activist tells Malcolm X that the situation is hopeless as there are too many powerful interests and too few to oppose them. Malcolm's response is as important today as it was then: "Never let your enemy tell you how many of you there are."
I’m afraid for this nation. And it is not the students but I’m afraid of the spirit of this nation. A spirit deeply embedded in racism, whiteness, imperialism, and power. A spirit that is violent. A spirit that refuses to listen to cries. A spirit that lacks care.

I am very much looking forward to reading Jelani Cobb about all of this someday.
I have yet to hear ACTUAL confirmation of this outside agitators narrative but it’s certainly what’s driving televised news coverage tonight.
Yall this is MAJOR. Right now Howard, Meharry, Morehouse and Charles Drew are our only historically Black medical schools. Xavier has always been a powerhouse when it comes to premed. I can’t wait to see the amazing doctors this school produces! Morgan State is next!

The "outside agitator" is classic agitprop + projection. King demystified it for us in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
Left: Columbia University on April 30, 1968 Right: Columbia University on April 30, 2024 History repeats. Horrifying that those in government haven’t learned from their mistakes of the past.

an interview I did last year with @BluesBritain magazine is available now in their may edition 📖✨
I am begging people to read a book and stop getting their civil rights history from Black History Month documentaries on the Disney Channel.

MLK believed in nonviolent direct action. Stop removing the “action” because doing so is misleading. Police arrested him 29 times throughout his life for peacefully protesting racial apartheid. Most White people did not approve of his methods.
Don's tweet is the result of the decades long (often bi-partisan) project of pacifying the real history of the Civil Rights Movement. Peaceful nonviolence included disruption and those claiming otherwise don't know enough history to be taken seriously.
“Peaceful non violence” was the predicate of the Civil Rights Movement. Taking over a building and destroying property feels January 6th ish to me. 🤷🏽♂️
One of the best things I learned reading about the Civil Rights Movement is that all movements are imperfect and that those expecting perfection (in strategy, from activists, or in actions) are not only opposed to the movement but often too cowardly to admit it.
“An individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
ALERT: A federal district court in Louisiana ruled 2-1 that the legislature’s new map remedying an undeniably unconstitutional racial gerrymander is unlawful. To be clear, this map replaces one that deliberately dilutes the voting power of Louisiana’s Black voters.
At Morehouse Sam Jackson was one of several students who locked trustees in their offices to protest the lack of Black people on the board. Today, a majority of the board is white. 3/
Folks don’t know the history of Civil Rights protests on college campuses. At the University of Minnesota the Black Student Union took over Morris Hall and specifically the President’s office. Their actions led to the creation of the Africana Studies department. 1/
These institutions advertised their history of activism to attract students. Now they are attacking those students for believing them.

The most famous magazine cover about the Atlanta Race Massacre was in a French journal. Ida B. Wells was forced to engage in international advocacy to raise the profile of the US anti-lynching cause. And the list goes on. Very important in this moment.
And then what happened to MLK after all those peaceful protests?

This is white supremacy. If Black folks did this they’d be bombed.
BREAKING: Louisiana Supreme Court has voted to allow residents to secede from Democrat-run Baton Rouge and create their own city. The new city, St. George, will have nearly 100,000 people, making it one of the state’s largest cities in population. “This is the culmination of…
When the South has trouble with its Negroes—when the Negroes refuse to remain in their “place”—it blames “outside” agitators and “Northern interference.” When the nation has trouble with the Northern Negro, it blames the Kremlin. - James Baldwin, 'Nobody Knows My Name,' 1961
The "outside agitator" is classic agitprop + projection. King demystified it for us in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
Columbia still has its official website up lionizing the protesters of 1968 who occupied university buildings to protest the Vietnam War until the NYPD, in Columbia's own words, "stormed" campus, creating a "fallout that dogged Columbia for years." news.columbia.edu/content/new-pe…
