July 14, 2013.
In my last conversation with Coretta Scott King, she told me that all of her husband’s worst fears had come true in Florida when the people did not take to the streets the night they stole the election from Al Gore.
I can’t help but wonder what she would say now that a Florida jury of six women have said it is okay to kill Treyvon Martin thus all of our children…? I wonder what she would say about the a War on Women, War on Workers Rights,War on the Unemployed, War on Renters, War on the Poor, War on Immigrants, War on Education, War on Science, War on The Bill of Rights, War on Veterans, War on the Environment, War on Voting Rights & the Democratic Process, that food is being taken away from the poor, and that there are Endless Wars across the globe by a Black President…?
What would she say to a President who has ordered spying not only on our enemies but all U.S. Citizens…and indeed killing innocent civilians around the world with drones from his perch in the White House?
So many people have told me they are too busy for politics, to busy to pick up a phone or write a letter, or go to a demonstration…that there is nothing they can do but hold good thoughts because they have their own life to live…? Last night all of your children were placed in the crosshairs…!
Do you have the time now or are we already over it…?
What we need is a Bastille Day…!
