Our goal as citizens and as human beings, therefore, must not simply be to resist all forms of violence with nonviolence. To quote Dr. King from his “Statement to the Press at the Beginning of the Youth Leadership Conference,” “
It must be made palpably clear that resistance and nonviolence are not in themselves good. There is another element that must be present in our struggle that then makes our resistance and nonviolence truly meaningful. That element is reconciliation. Our ultimate end must be the creation of the beloved community.We must find ways to follow these words. Reconciliation is not capitulation. It is the restoration of friendly relations. It is recreating our American community. Dr.
Second, social media has changed the way we see ourselves, not simply the way we see others. Experts and laypeople alike have meticulously manufactured their surroundings—using artificial lighting and purposefully positioned backgrounds—not only to convey a certain identity to people watching. It is also done to portray our own personal brand to ourselves. We use the tools at our disposal to create the personas we want to show the world. And we don’t only do this with our videos.
If we are going to be able to redevelop our American community, each of us must first look at ourselves as individuals. We must be okay with articulating who we are in a way that is not based on what we are not and who someone else might be. Identity cannot be a zero-sum game, where the rise of one means a loss to another. In the quest for justice and equity, we must remember that revolutions bring us back full circle. We need a moral Exodus and not a revolution.
