I do not think it is just an odd coincidence that most people have forgotten the economic, political, and social militancy that came with the Civil Rights movement in favor of a disney-ified[0] version where mere marches, willpower, and belief in a certain set of principles caused widespread change.

- omegaworks 10y agoI have not gone to any kind of leadership / political organization training. Just flying by the seat of my pants; running on faith, awareness and just a little bit of rage. If you have any recommendations, please share :) I'm very much aware that MLK had a larger vision for shared economic prosperity, a vision for "a beloved community," that is very much sanitized by the mainstream narrative. The article you posted doesn't really do service to telling the actual message. I recommend this On Being interview where Vincent Harding [0] gives an overview. 0. http://www.onbeing.org/program/vincent-harding-is-america-possible/79 http://www.onbeing.org/program/vincent-harding-is-america-po...
