One of my prized possessions is a LP that features a full speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X that was released after both of them were assassinated. If you’ve read enough of my writings you can do something amazingly radical in these times.—You can physically visit your public libraries and check out books and recordings, access websites and databases without paywalls…AND then speak with the most radical guardians of our histories and information—Librarians.

This post is in honor of my parents, who joined the ancestors on a February 9th in different years. They taught me the value of research and respect for my people’s history. They carried on a great Black tradition of laughing in the face of adversity. Here is Paul Mooney. All puns intended.
