Figures mentioned in this video:
- Bayard Rustin: a pivotal, yet underrecognized, activist in the civil rights movement. It’s worth it to take the time to look into him and his work, especially if you haven’t heard of him until now.
- Thurman (deserves to have his name spelled wrong. cunt.): a republican member of the senate, and a clown. From his wikipedia page, “Thurmond conducted the longest speaking filibuster ever by a lone senator, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.”
- Ida B Wells: Prolific member during the early civil rights movement (active during late 1800s- early 1900s).
- [who i assume to be] Benjamin G. Harris: Worked to enforce slavery. From his wikipedia: “[He was] forever disqualified from holding any office under the United States Government. U.S. President Andrew Johnson pardoned Harris several weeks later.”
