Nietzsche, James: BLACK LIVES MATTER

I have been living nearby the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Monument on Riverside Drive in Manhattan, New York City, for many years. It took on new meaning this year because of two notorious acts of violence against Black people on Memorial Day. I enlist the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche and C.L.R. James to think about BLACK LIVES MATTER and where we are now.
