We are nonviolent only with nonviolent people. I’m nonviolent as long as somebody else is nonviolent - as soon as they get violent they nullify my nonviolence.

Answer to the question: “If the Muslim Mosque, Inc., joined in a demonstration sponsored by a nonviolent organization, and whites countered with violence, how would your organization react?” Taken from an interview with A.B. Spellman(New York, March 19, 1964).

How’d I Spend My Saturday?

Watched a marathon of North and South with my mom and bonded over a discussion about the mini-series’s historical inaccuracies until 3 in the morning. With an added bonus of samosas and shiraz.  Day: Well spent.

The Black History of the White House (City Lights Open Media) by Clarence Lusane
The Black History of the White House presents the untold history, racial politics, and shifting significance of the White House as experienced by African Americans, from the generations of enslaved people who helped to build it or were forced to work there to its first black First Family, the Obamas.
Clarence Lusane juxtaposes significant events in White House history with the ongoing struggle for democratic, civil, and human rights by black Americans and demonstrates that only during crises have presidents used their authority to advance racial justice. He describes how in 1901 the building was officially named the “White House” amidst a furious backlash against President Roosevelt for inviting Booker T. Washington to dinner, and how that same year that saw the consolidation of white power with the departure of the last black Congressmember elected after the Civil War. Lusane explores how, from its construction in 1792 to its becoming the home of the first black president, the White House has been a prism through which to view the progress and struggles of black Americans seeking full citizenship and justice.
