A must read:

"Negros With Guns"
by Robert F. Williams & Martin Luther King Jr. & Truman Nelson

Negroes with Guns is the story of a southern black community's struggle to arm itself in self-defense against the Ku Klux Klan and other racist groups.

Frustrated and angered by violence condoned or abetted by the local authorities against blacks, the small community of Monroe, North Carolina, brought the issue of armed self-defense to the forefront of the civil rights movement.

The single most important intellectual influence on Huey P. Newton, the founder of the Black Panther Party, Negroes with Guns is a classic story of a man who risked his life for democracy and freedom.

As prologue, the issues raised by events in Monroe are weighted by Truman Nelson and Martin Luther King Jr. in essays concerning the role of violence in the civil rights movement.

When someone says "Black Lives Matter" and haters respond with "All lives matter," this typically means they don't count those whose rights & safety are compromised. Since those lives don't matter they're not among "All Lives" in their small heads.
So please take a moment to acknowledge that #BlackLivesMatter
We ALL have a place here, & pigment is a stupid excuse to think otherwise. #Juneteenth2023
