An HBCU that is not inherently revolutionary in 2016 is irrelevant. An African American Studies class that is not inherently revolutionary in 2016 is irrelevant.
Darnell Lamont Walker

For more than a half century, the Right has waged a relentless campaign against the goals and achievements of the Sixties’ movements for racial, social and economic equality. From Reagan to Trump, there has been an endless hammering away at caricatures of dopey hippies, traitorous peace protestors, bra-burning feminists, dangerous Black radicals, and commissars of political correctness.
Mike Davis, John Wiener
