I Ran The NYC Marathon In Chains To Urge Our Government To Acknowledge Black And Brown Suffering

The history of black and brown people has been deliberately erased/altered to justify generations of savage and brutal treatment to savages and brutes.  Enough is enough. It is time to reclaim. The first step is to make everyone uncomfortable with the status quo. To that end, Movers Shakers will host a Slave Auction on November 18th in New York City. We will also be showcasing some of the artwork from our upcoming Augmented Reality Book, “White Supremacy 101: Columbus the Terrorist”. The book features a series of animations and illustrations, and spoken word poetry backed by academically verifiable evidence from sources like Columbus’ Journal tell the true story. We were fortunate enough to partner with people like former vice presidential candidate Rosa Clemente; Glenn Martin, CEO of Just Leadership USA; Juan Cartagena, president and general counsel of Latino Justice; and Hawk Newsome, president of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York to provide perspective on how the erasure of our history relates to contemporary issues that black and brown people confront on a daily basis. We are advocating for the removal of the name Columbus in New York City monuments, streets and public institutions; an overhaul on the Eurocentric history taught in our schools; and the recognition of Indigenous People’s Day and Juneteenth as national holidays.
