Touch It, Read It, Click It, Watch It, Hear It, Buy It....
Get your minds right with (most of) the following stuff:
"You can’t proclaim a mass movement into existence - but if you can bring together hundreds of thousands of people to hear the proclamation, you may be part of the way there..." The Black Commentator on last weekend's Millions More Movement rally. I missed this event but like many others, I was at the original Million Man March and it was one of the most profound things I have ever been a part of. You just had to be there to understand why I say that.
The Emmett Till Story - "a documentary investigating the murder and subsequent injustice surrounding Emmett Louis Till's death."
And ironically, black men being falsely accused and found guilty of commiting crimes is STILLL an issue today: After Innocence - "the dramatic and compelling story of the exonerated - innocent men wrongfully imprisoned for decades and then released after DNA evidence proved their innocence."
The Prophet of Zongo Street - a collection of stories set in New York City and Ghana.
"We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race...." - Prussian Blue (above right), the National Socialist anti-Olsen twins.
So I'm guessing those two would probably be happy to spend a A Day Without A Mexican, right?
WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price (related: Jib Jab's "Big Box Mart")
Al Franken is The Truth.
DJ RX feat. President George W. Bush "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (via MSNBC.com)
"If you want to understand how Iraq became a quagmire, and who the human beings are who suffer its consequences, you must read this book" - a quote from a review of the new George Packer book The Assassin's Gate.
