MAN, WE ARE ALL BONO (the real one):
GET IN THERE LEWIS!
What a moment of sheer ecstasy for all of us at #TEAMLH who were yearning for this day to come.
As is said in Hindi:
भगवान के घर में देर है अंधेर नहीं।
There is delay in the house of God, but not darkness.

While history often remembers John Brown’s assault on the Federal Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, it forgets 5 Black Americans who joined him, including a man named Dangerfield Newby. Dangerfield Newby’s motivation for joining Brown was rooted in his love for his family,. His story is a powerful reminder of the enduring struggle for freedom by ordinary people. They are worthy of remembering.

The March on Washington was the product of a long and arduous journey. Each moment built upon the previous one, generating momentum and solidarity among civil rights activists. By the time the march occurred in 1963, it stood on the shoulders of decades of activism, struggle, and resilience.
