0:48Now PlayingGil Scott-Heron once said there’s no such thing as Superman, yet many are waiting for a messianic figure to emerge and lead Black people. We’ve been conditioned to believe that the next Dr. King or Malcolm X will rise up to guide us to victory, but that's never been how change happened—it took local organizers and community leaders like Fannie Lou Hamer and James Orange. These groups target the most vulnerable first because they know America has consistently ignored the least among us, or we would have addressed these issues long ago. #CommunityLeadership #GrassrootsMovements #SocialJustice #Empowerment #LocalHeroes #CivilRights #Activism #ChangeMakers #UnityInAction #FannieLouHamer
