Watching young people risk it all for justice reminds me Claudette Colvin was arrested at 15 for denying a seat to a white woman, John Lewis suffered police brutality at 20, Feds killed Fred Hampton at 22, Robert Smalls stole a Confederate vessel at 22, Muhammad Ali refused the Draft at 24, MLK led the bus boycott at 26, & Harriett Tubman began the Underground Railroad at 27.
They were criminalized, beaten, & killed—& history proved them right eternally. We'd be wise to listen to young ppl now.
