Just two days ago, January 15, 2022, the government of the City of Boston implemented a policy that violates the privacy of all people and forces restaurants to segregate and deny service to those citizens that are unvaccinated (COVID-19).
Most of them -the unvaccinated- are ironically (?) members of what the “progressive politicians” like Mayor of Boston Michelle Wu call “minorities” or “people of color.”
Many things have changed since Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., a Christian pastor, was supporting the civil rights movement of the ’60s. But the civil rights movement didn’t end there.
The struggle for civil rights and freedom is permanent, believing the opposite is just a utopia.
The corporate, oligarch mainstream media is currently silent, despite grave violations of civil and human rights happening around the World, in the US, and Boston. Because the ruling class evolves and will always be on the look to perpetuate their ruling position and make sure you are in the place they think you belong.
Today, the Comunicas Foundation wants to raise awareness of the urgent crisis we are living in Boston and highlight the words of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. when, after arguing that “non-violence is the most important weapon available to the Negro in his struggle for freedom and justice,” he said:
“I think that we’ve got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.”
