My mental state has been heavily affected
by the ongoing assault on Black power.
Black August is about our liberation:
the Haitian Revolution, George Jackson
(San Quentin Six alongside Angela Davis,
Sundiata Tate), the first March on
Washington, the birthdays
of Fred Hampton, Marcus Garvey,
Opal Tometi...Toni Morrison's
ancestral return and so many more.
August is a month of historic change,
and symbolically precedes the fall.
Zimbabwe, the U.S., Africans in Asia,
Black Caribbean activists and LGBTQ+
skinfolk in Europe may not have the same
struggle. But we all do face antiblackness.
How will change manifest in Black August
to give us the necessary power?
Wait and see.
I know you have the power within yourself.
Even if intangible now. Believe that it’s there.
