This past week has provided me clarity in terms of Kwame Ture's not oft-quoted phrase. I hope it provides some perspective in a world bent on anti-Black ahistoricism. Thank you for reading. ‘History does not repeat itself…Nothing Can.’

“History does not repeat itself…Nothing Can.”

If history is instead a process, then it would mean that all Black rebellions are part of one larger rebellion, one larger resistance…
