Now, Mr. Lincoln?

Accumulated Injustice

This account indicates that an accumulation of injustice and white apathy will result in violence because Black voices aren’t being heard. Stokely Carmichael was similarly passionate in his language. He wrote, “For once, black people are going to use the words they want to use, not just the words whites want to hear.” [Rhetoric CRM p. 102].The BSU argues, like Carmichael, that only by acting, supporting in solidarity, and preparing an equitable education structure can this violence be avoided.
