Ransby Boldly Imagines A Black Future

@ASoulAFire @JaniceOCG This is @BarbaraRansby piece for @inthesetimesmag #M4BL issue – “Letter From the Year 2071:  A vision of where the Black freedom movement could take us.”

“We want you to know first and foremost that you are with us every day. Your presence permeates the new history books we have written, but more importantly, we pay tribute to you in the ways in which we are repairing and acting as stewards of the land, the rivers, the birds and the wildlife. Your beauty flows through the clean skies and waterways— luxuries you were denied in your time. We have many holidays and celebrations where we remember and honor you. August 10 is Pueblo Revolt Day. December 13 is Ella Baker Day. (Just two examples.)”

— Barbara Ransby
