A friend recently remarked that recent campus events that took place at his alma mater resembled the very same student activist protests that he was involved with 40 years ago in the same campus building.
It reminded me of my student days during the black student union organizational emergence-Black Power days of many moons ago.
The picture above is actually from one of the early Black Student organizational meetings from around 1969 from my college days.
I am kind of guessing that my friend was indicating that long lasting progress is a continually conscious energy investment and that one offs will not do the trick.
The okey-dokes, the costumed responses of institutional concern, the orchestrated can we get along conversations of pacification, the reports and recommendations up the ying yang can never replace the dedicated and sustained underground organizing and vigilant seed planting of spirit filled strategy combined with targeted action.
