thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.

[alphacrone]

this is not a sad post!!!! this is a celebration!!!!! art is part of the human condition!!!!!!! we were born to create and share!!!!!!!!!!!

[nachtkissen]

the subreddit is using that pic as their header

[loriinae]

Hi y’all.

Here’s the first post of many that we’ll be making this week. As more cities join the fight, we’ll be updating this post. I encourage you all to also drop suggestions for fun stuff in the comments as well.

For anyone who doesn’t already know—

This is Kwame Tu, more commonly known as Stokely Carmichael. He was one of the original freedom riders; a prominent member of the black panthers party; part of the revolutionary socialist pan-african movement of the time. He was one of the leaders targeted by the FBI for destruction by COINTELPRO.

He coined the term ‘institutional racism’ and came up with the term ‘black power’ in the first place.

He died of cancer in 1998.

(I’m adding this because I’ve seen this quote wrongly attributed to Frank Hampton, another black socialist member of the BPP who was martyred by the state.)
