We are the Revolution
We take the tools used against us
and disarm them through our actions
We use the space
that harmful history took
to make Our marks
and We don’t stop marking
where we’ve been erased
marking
Our place
We see ourselves where we should
Everywhere
as large as the life We Create
as strong as can Be
in history
Now & as far as our imaginations can carry Us
We are the Revolution, drawn/painted manifesto and words inspired by the activist/student/hero Takiyah Thompson who was instrumental in taking down a Confederate monument in North Carolina in 2017.
