Interesting Observation

As I was watching the Black State of the Union today, I heard someone say something that made me think of what Bernadine Dohrn said when she was here at Purdue. She said tha the one of the biggest obstacles to making progress in this new era of struggle for human and Civil Rights is the 1960s. That the legacy of that time period and the bar that established as an example blocks us from using our imaginations to come up with new ways and strategies for fighting opprression. I very much agree with this assessment. We need to come up with new ways to combat oppression. As Jimmy Baldwin said, "we can't hit those streets again, because they're waiting for us."
