Tamika Mallory




I know I heard this speech shortly after it was made in late May but I did not really get a chance to digest it. Alone with my thoughts, yesterday driving to the coast, this randomly came on XRay FM and I really got to absorb Tamika Mallory's words properly. I'm not sure I have heard anything quite like this balance of anger with logic, fire with eloquence, passion with persuasion ever before. I was thinking of the Black Panthers at their height, or of course Malcolm X but she outshines them all. Amazing.
