Matter is the Minimum - a photo on Flickriver

            A reminder that we must do more and fight for each other to truly have life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

A reminder that the Constitution was written by old white men, many of whom thought slavery was just fine.

A reminder that our current demon in the white house would be just fine with slavery as well.

A reminder that every gain we've made in terms of civil rights came from making demands that may have seemed outrageous at the time but, in fact, were just related to advocacy for human rights.

A reminder that "Black Lives Matter" is a stepping stone to real change in the world where people are treated differently on the street level to the institutions that we once thought were so stable.

A reminder that asking for fairness and justice should never be seen as radical.  That is the bare minimum.
