Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and Malcolm X and Nelson Mandela and Gandhi and Frederick Douglas and Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman and other people of color you've probably heard of and who fought for truth and justice and equity and equality are all great and you should continue to praise them and learn from them.

And. 

Continue to look for inspiration and motivation beyond the people you know of, the people you've heard of, the people who get the most recognition, the people who are regularly praised as champions for social justice.

Expand your understanding of who to root for, who to learn from, whose voices to amplify.

Expand the potential for inspiration beyond political figures and religious figures and business leaders and community activists.

Look to any and all people on the downside of power who fought the power, who challenged the power, who disrupted the power, who refused to let the powerful continue the disempowerment of the less powerful.

Perhaps these people are musicians like Fela Kuti or writers like Sandra Cisneros or comedians like Dick Gregory or hip-hop journalists like Davey D or poets like Chrystos.

Don't let the narrative of the privileged majority limit which minoritized voices you hear.
