Invention 3 Protest / Performance (Rudolf Akaho)

 










"I'm not going to rise up to show pride in a banner for a country that mistreats individuals of color and minorities. As far as I might be concerned, this is greater than football and it would be egotistical on my part to look the alternate way. There are bodies in the road and individuals moving paid leave and pulling off murder" – Colin Kaepernick 

Everywhere in the world individuals are rioting on the side of the Black Lives Matter development. A great many individuals in many urban communities are walking on the side of the possibility that all individuals are made rise to and merit equivalent treatment. I can't resist the urge to consider what Martin Luther King Jr would think about these recent developments. How close would we say we are to his fantasy of kids being decided by the substance of their character as opposed to the shade of their skin? 

Today, MLK is hailed as a saint of social liberties. He has roads and schools named after him everywhere in the US. Lawmakers of all foundations quote his work and hail him as a saint. Yet, during the 1950s and 1960s, he was an adversary of the US Government. The FBI was effectively keeping an eye on MLK, naming him as a radical. The head of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover guaranteed that MLKs devotees were socialists and that MLK himself was the "most famous liar in the country." The exercise here is that the individuals who stand up against bad form are viewed as an adversary to the individuals who are answerable for the shamefulness. 

It took the demise of George Floyd for people in general to see and the Black Lives Matter development to acquire boundless help. The protestors are getting back on track. Not exclusively did Dr. Ruler have a fantasy of correspondence, however, he was an ally of activity and common noncompliance to accomplish that uniformity. 

"We who take part in the peaceful direct activity are not the makers of pressure. We simply bring to the surface the secret pressure that is as of now alive." – Martin Luther King Jr
