Special message to @ian since I think that I had you to thank for finding the Minneapolis photo bot on Twitter... @MplsPhotoBot is now on Mastodon as well. #Minneapolis
Like Malcolm X, Nina Simone was a passionate activist and dedicated to the Black liberation struggle. She posed in this photo very intentionally as an homage to Malcolm. 🖤🙏🏿 #BlackFriday #BlackMastodon #Mastodon
