opening thoughts:
Malcolm X, February 1965 By E. Ethelbert Miller
i will die this month. how
i do not know. still there
is much work to be done. i
am afraid not for myself but
for betty and the girls. some
nights i stay awake looking
out the window, a gun in my
hand. i know how cruel people
can be. i have known hatred and
blindness. there are brothers
waiting to do me harm. i will
die for them. i will love them
as only i can. may allah be my
witness.
Minnesota Strong by Lyn Ekedahl
Many folks in Minnesota say
They’re Minnesota strong.
And the strength that they’ve been showing 
Tends to prove that they’re not wrong.

Braving temperatures sub-zero, 
They go out into the streets
To protect their friends and neighbors
And defy cold ICE‘s heat!

They’ve been shot and they’ve been beaten;
Pulled from cars and pepper sprayed
As they simply try to witness
And record cold ICE’s raids.

Now they have a real live hero,
New state symbol and a star!
One who shows both strength and courage.
I mean, of course, Omar.

When a burly jerk attacked her
With syringe-filled liquid mist,
Omar didn’t flee or cower;
She went at him with her fist!

While perhaps not recommended,
Still her courage makes me proud.
Like her Minnesota neighbors, 
She proves heroes won’t be cowed!
