The Moment

Nobody's Free Until Everybody's Free

“There’re things will make you angry, will make you very mad, but those are the truths of our history. But there's nothing for not loving America because most of us would not want to live in any place else. And I lived in a lot of places in this world, and ain't no place like home, as they say. No place like home.”
—Charles Person, 1961 Freedom Rider

This Fourth of July, we recognize the honest history of the United States is marked by injustices as well as the courage to confront our past and fight for a more just future. We commit to the ongoing movement to build a more inclusive and multiracial democracy. The words and actions of our elders can help to guide us. In addition to celebrating Charles Person’s love for our country, Rep. John Lewis’ words remind us that “Democracy is an act … that requires participation, organization and dedication to the highest principles.” And Fannie Lou Hamer's encouragement is to continue the struggle because “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.” Join us in the commitment to center learning to inform action for liberation and justice.
