“We could always point the finger. But when it begins to explode on our very doorstep, what do we do? We get afraid and we get fearful. And that’s understandable. It’s understandable that you can be afraid of disorder. But that is not enough. To be afraid. There is a need to understand the reason for the disorder. Not an outbreak has taken place but what there weren’t some factors that had obtained for years and years that had helped to create the climate. Create the hatred. Create the suppressed anger that made it necessary in the minds of the people who gave vent to it the way they did. To do what they did. This you say is condoning the rioters? It is not. It is an effort to say to people who say they would like to do something to save a country. It’s an effort to say to you and to me that we must understand what takes place at the riot level is a reflection of a lot of things that have not been on the surface before... and that have been festering like an old sore. And what happens with an old sore when it festers? Frequently it infects the entire body. And we are now at that stage I’m afraid.” Ella Baker speaking at a Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee event honoring her great Civil Rights efforts in 1968. *Learn more about getting involved was action in honor of Ella Baker’s legacy and our future at @ellabakercenter https://www.instagram.com/p/CBIzfz3jR1D/?igshid=1wh5lwbwl4bqu
