There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.

'Sinners' Review: Ryan Coogler's Blood-soaked Southern Gothic Horror Masterpiece
Coogler’s first original flick is a staggeringly sophisticated studio horror with so much on its mind and sharpened fangs ready to bite.

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.
