Black History Is For Everyone This February performance of Voices of a People's History takes its inspiration from the new book Black History Is for Everyone, written by New York Public Library educator Brian Jones. Black History challenges our understanding of race, nation, and the stories we tell about who we are. Understanding it challenges our assumptions, helps us see larger forces at work, and gives us glimpses of alternate futures. Featuring Haley Pessin, Jordan Mahome, Kelly "GreenLight" Thomas, Mahogany L. Browne, Margaret Odette, Martha Redbone, Aaron Whitby, Regine Jean Louis, and Ty Jones; narrated by Brian Jones.

This is for the kids who die, Black and white, For kids will die certainly. The old and rich will live on awhile, As always, Eating blood and gold, Letting kids die. Kids will die in the swamps of Mississippi Organizing sharecroppers. Kids will die in the streets of Chicago Organizing workers. Kids will die in the orange groves of California Telling others to get together. Whites and Filipinos, Negroes and Mexicans, All kinds of kids will die Who don't believe in lies, and bribes, and contentment And a lousy peace. Of course, the wise and the learned Who pen editorials in the papers, And the gentlemen with Dr. in front of their names. White and black, Who make surveys and write books. Will live on weaving words to smother the kids who die, And the sleazy courts, And the bribe-reaching police, And the blood-loving generals, And the money-loving preachers Will all raise their hands against the kids who die, Beating them with laws and clubs and bayonets and bullets To frighten the people— For the kids who die are like iron in the blood of the people— And the old and rich don't want the people To taste the iron of the kids who die, Don't want the people to get wise to their own power, To believe an Angelo Herndon, or even get together.

It is not enough to abolish ICE. We need to abolish the police and cages and build other institutions and relationships that can bring us genuine safety. Abolition is less an act of demolition than a construction project. It is creative creation, the boundless, boundary-less struggle to make our collective lives better, what Ruth Wilson Gilmore calls “life in rehearsal.”
