‼️ IMPORTANT - MEETING STILL CALLED FOR TONIGHT ‼️

Please disregard the notice in Blue Notes from earlier today stating that the meeting tonight is postponed. The meeting will occur at the usual time of 6pm, but will instead take place at our HQ, 314 College Ave. Apologies for any confusion. See you there!

Some of Martin Luther King Jr.'s most impactful words are those that get the least amount of attention, because they are some of his most radical.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”

“The evils of capitalism are as real as the evils of militarism and racism. The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power."

“We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

"A riot is the language of the unheard."

"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom..."

When we celebrate this great leader today, let us not whitewash and cherry-pick his legacy. Instead, let us listen most carefully to his words that make us the most uncomfortable.

Our crew had the best time putting together our on the Gainesville Square!
