The link between the history of Black peoples’ struggle for freedom in the US and our current moment cannot be overstated.
The thousands of leaders and activists who participated in the Civil Rights Movement – from Fannie Lou Hammer to the Black residents who boycotted segregated buses in Montgomery, Alabama – knew barriers. They knew injustice. They faced those circumstances and continued to call out and combat discrimination and oppression. That is our task today.
We see the possibility of freedom for all in the continued fight for black liberation. And we remain committed to this vision of freedom – to protecting and expanding civil rights and civil liberties for all – this month and beyond.
