“In 1968, a coalition of Black, Asian, Chicano, and Native American student groups united as the Third World Liberation Front (TWLF) at San Francisco State University… The archive of these printed materials testifies to the historical cowardice of university administration.”

Fannie Lou Hamer was born today. She was fired as a sharecropper for registering Black folks to vote. She started coops and political parties. She had a limp & blood clot behind her eye from being beaten by police in a Mississippi jail. Fannie was a freedom fighter.

The Thammasat University massacre, a tragic chapter in Thailand's history, unfolded on this day in 1976. State forces and far-right royalist criminals silenced student voices with violence, as they protested against the return of a military dictator. #Capitalistmassacre
