Dear young activists: take the time to study your elder activists in the ongoing fight.
Don't make the mistake of taking their gains for granted, many of them have lost blood for your sake.
Don't dismiss or despise them because they aren't in line with your present, which is ephemeral, as is all history.
Understand their context in history; the culture THEY were dealing with, the tools they had, the injustices they met.
It's not about burning "those" books, or shaming blame, tearing down what has taken generations to win, or who's appropriating what.
LEARN from them. Remember that we are all human..
