Malcom X: and Me We may be more alike than not. https://lnkd.in/gqddQBtG I myself would go for nonviolence if it was consistent, if everybody was going to be nonviolent all the time. I'd say, okay, let's get with it, we'll all be nonviolent. But I don't go along with any kind of nonviolence unless everybody's going to be nonviolent. If they make the Ku Klux Klan nonviolent, I'll be nonviolent. If they make the White Citizens Council nonviolent, I'll be nonviolent. But as long as you've got somebody else not being nonviolent, I don't want anybody coming to me talking any nonviolent talk. I don't think it is fair to tell our people to be nonviolent unless someone is out there making the Klan and the Citizens Council and these other groups also be nonviolent... If the leaders of the nonviolent movement can go into the white community and teach nonviolence, good. I'd go along with that. But as long as I see them teaching nonviolence only in the black community, we can't go along with that. We believe in equality, and equality means that you have to put the same thing over here that you put over there. And if black people alone are going to be the ones who are nonviolent, then it's not fair. We throw ourselves off guard. In fact, we disarm ourselves and make ourselves defenseless. . . . [W]e of the Organization of Afro-American Unity realized the only time the black man in this country is given any kind of recognition, or even listened to, is when America is afraid of outside pressure, or when she's afraid of her image abroad. So we saw that it was necessary to expand the problem and the struggle of the black man in this country until it went above and beyond the jurisdiction of the United States. . . . What African Americans failed to do. Hamas has achieved.
Malcolm X, "To Mississippi Youth," 1964

*BC-C Minority Christians' Eagerness to Preserve the Self-Respect Struggle of Christians* Justice done to a community in minority quota is not done to us BCC minority Christians Justice done to SCs is not done to BC-C Christians Justice done to other castes in BCs is not done to BC-C minority Christians. The justice that is being done to the upper castes is not being done to the BC-C minority Christians. For the last seventy years, we have remained a vote bank where social justice has not been done. Justice is being done to everyone around us, but we still have to wait for justice. People who don't do justice to us are coming to our churches and asking for our vote. Why don't we question people who don't do social justice to us? It is only when questioned that our social class is recognized and justice is given to us. S Jayakant was a Christian minority rights activist.

Juneteenth: A Celebration of Freedom, Inclusion and Reflection Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the end of slavery in the United States. On June 19, 1865, Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced the abolition of slavery, implementing the Emancipation Proclamation. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 186f3, but the news took over two years to reach Texas due to communication delays. Today, Juneteenth is a time to celebrate progress and honor the resilience of our past. It’s a moment for self-reflection: What more can we do to dismantle racism, promote inclusion, and ensure true liberty for all? Let’s continue learning, engaging, and working toward a more inclusive society. #Juneteenth #JuneteethCelebrations #blackhistory #humanrights #antiracism #inclusion

Today we honor Juneteenth. It was on June 19, 1865, when the last Confederate community of enslaved Americans in Galveston, Texas, received word that they had been freed from bondage. By Honoring Juneteenth: 🔴 We learn about slavery and its enduring legacy, fostering empathy, awareness, and a commitment to combating racism and inequality. 🔴 We bring people together across racial and cultural lines, commemorating the struggles of the past while working towards a more inclusive and equitable future. 🔴 We honor ancestors, acknowledge past injustices, and heal from intergenerational trauma caused by slavery and systemic racism. Honoring Juneteenth each year helps us foster understanding, empathy, and solidarity across communities. Let’s take this time to reflect on the progress made toward racial equality while acknowledging the work that still needs to be done to achieve true justice and liberation for all. #honoring #juneteenth #combatingracism #candidlyspeaking #community #understanding

The United States' history of enslavement, segregation, economic injustice, and institutional racism contributes to an overrepresentation of African Americans in the #childwelfare system, and it likely also contributes to the larger percentage of Black children in informal grandfamilies. Use this tip sheet and #toolkit from Generations United as reference tools to improve culturally responsive services for Black #kinship families and #grandfamilies. https://buff.ly/42cwA6H
