If Generational Healing Were A Person, It Would Be US Senator Cory Booker.
Shared this post on LinkedIn and just had to bring this energy over. This is why we do what we do. This is why we hold onto hope.
Born just over one year almost to the day after Martin Luther King’s assassination, during one of the most contentious seasons of US politics on record, this Black man has just brought the course of history full circle by refusing to take fascism sitting down.
The last time someone stood on the senate floor this long, it was to block the Civil Rights Act. To BLOCK civil freedoms for millions of people, with Black people at the top of the list.
This time, it was essentially to protect it.
It’s hard to articulate what this means for a Black man to be standing up and doing what so many are uninterested, unwilling, unable or afraid to.
But let me tell you something:
When we talk about being our ancestors’ wildest and most defiant dreams… And how time and time again, it is proven that the overwhelming majority of Black people when resourced, privileged and visible enough will ALWAYS reach back to lift and liberate others as we climb…
This it.
