SNAP Fort Greene, 324 Myrtle Avenue
Inspired from Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech, “Fill Up the Jails”, the call for “Creative Protest” and Barbara Jones-Hogu’s UNITE screenprint. This speech was iconic in that he called for the preservation of the Movement’s and protesters’ non-violent agenda to gain civil freedom. He vocalized that Black peoples had a moral obligation to remind white America of the wrongfulness in segregation, that black people did not stand for it and that if going to jail for fighting for their rights was a consequence then they should, for that could wake up the rest of the nation to see that they stood for their freedom.
