Today we honor the birth of Martin Luther King Jr., the father of a new American people.

A SHORT HISTORY OF PROPAGANDA by Anthony Monteiro (1998)
At the end of the 20th century, Harvard's Cornel West and Temple University's Molefi Asante represented two opposing wings of Black Studies.
What united them was their rejection of W.E.B. Du Bois. avantjournal.com/2025/11/06/…

'Truth' — A poem by Muhammad Ali
The words of Truth are touching,
The voice of Truth is deep,
The law of Truth is simple:
All you sow, you reap.
Facts are only its shadow,
Truth stands above all sin;
Great be the battle of life,
Truth in the end shall win.

Better far, from all I see

The Soul of John Brown — by Blaise Laramee
avantjournal.com/2025/07/03/…
"What could the soul of John Brown mean to the American people today, and especially to the masses of white poor? And could we, in our time of great confusion and moral crisis, see such a spirit live again?"

W.E.B. Du Bois, A Black Swan for This Historic Moment — by Anthony Monteiro
avantjournal.com/2025/07/03/…
"The unprecedented crisis of Western Civilization is of such depth and magnitude that it makes Du Bois more relevant now than at the start of the 20th century."

If there is one thing that made Muhammad Ali beloved, it was his willingness to sacrifice for the oppressed. Solidarity, a subset of love, is something scarce today.
In a time in which superpowers genocide children, at most we utter cautious words of sympathy.

Ali shows us that to live one’s principles means to be willing to sacrifice everything—wealth, titles, even exposing one’s life to racist attacks.
Humanity will prevail when we see ourselves as tied to each other, and are willing to sacrifice accordingly. avantjournal.com/2025/07/03/…
