Cynthia McKinney “They didn’t stop…They kept going”

My fellow Info Warriors, lol. I love the message Cynthia McKinney gave in this speech. I just had to share. So proud to have voted for her. Check out the video below.


“I come from really strong stock. And I know what my own government did to Marcus Garvey. I know what my own government did to Paul Robeson. I know what my government did to Malcolm X, Martin Luther King. I know what my government is capable of doing. And even despite the fact that the entire weight of the United States government was arrayed against all of these people…they didn’t stop. They kept going. And so how could I cower in a moment of fear and say no I’m not going to go (to Gaza). So I got on the boat.” Cynthia Mckinney
