Movements Are Nothing Without Endurance
The Bus Boycott took a year; don’t get tired yet

Surprisingly, however, many White people (and some Black, tbh) seem to be confused when it comes to time and the fight for equity.
There is this underlying desire to consistently tell Black people to “just wait” for equity as if we haven’t been patient for 500-plus years while everything we build and champion is destroyed by White rage.
I am curious if the same theory holds true for actual movements like the civil rights movement or the current Black Lives Matter movement.
One of the battles of the civil rights movement was convincing White people that there was and is a problem.
