On Monday, January 19, 2015, we marched in the Annual MLK Day parade, we marched not only to reclaim the radical legacy of KING, but to reclaim the radical legacy and lives of Black women.
Black women gave their lives on the frontlines of the movement, only to be relegated to the sidelines of history.We marched for Harriet, Ida B., Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, Septima Clark, Pauli Murray, Audre lorde, June Jordan, Diane Nash, the Four Little Girls, the women of SNCC, SCLC, CORE, and the other countless and nameless women and girls who lives did not MATTER in the making of history. #ReclaimHerDream #ReclaimMLK #ALLBlackLivesMatter #BlackWomenMatter
