    This was the first time I learned about the Memphi This was the first time I learned about the Memphis Sanitation Workers’ Strike. This sculpture and timeline is not too far from the heart of Memphis. Dr. King had traveled to Memphis to speak to them. Shortly after Dr. King was assassinated, the demands of the workers were given. #sankofa #latergram #iamaman

Have you learned about the Children’s Crusade and how integral children were to the civil rights movement? They will lead us and are leading us even now. Will you let them lead? Will we listen and hear what our young people are saying? #sankofa #nextgeneration

We confess this and make a conscious decision to make different choices as we go forward so we do not make the same mistakes. #Sankofa
    We started this morning at the 16th Street Baptist We started this morning at the 16th Street Baptist church where we remembered the 4 little girls who were killed when the church got bombed. I also learned about the Children’s Crusade and how young people were integral to the civil rights movement. And then we went to the @eji_org #legacymuseum - this museum is a must see. My heart broke as I walked through this place that walks you through from slavery to mass incarceration. @lmdj_ecc #Sankofa
