Liberation is...

Tuesday, August 9th, 2016

Liberation is ____________. 

"Liberation is self-determination, just distribution of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual resources, and love (respect, listening, affirmation, sharing, receiving, affection)."

"Liberation is the ability to experience liberty. You get the "promised" American things like the ability to vote or work where you want to work or freedom of speech. But laws have put that out of reach for Black men."

"Liberation is the breaking away from a system or leader that is restricting one from being free."

"Liberation is boundless Black imagination. Being all you can conceive, see, and feel."

"Liberation means to be free. The freedom to do what you want to do and taking control. Being released from oppression. Having nothing to hold you down. Having choices."

"Liberation is the ability 2 make human mistakes and still be treated as a human. The death sentence and the prison industrial complex are not examples of liberty, life, or pursuits of happiness. Liberation is the act of being freed from past and existing systems."

"Liberation is being free, living in a society where you are not faced with discrimination, prejudice, oppression, or otherwise biased obstacles based on factors that are beyond your control. It means having all the basic rights others are granted."

"Liberation is...freedom from all shackles. It s not having to worry about being victimized based on appearance because in a liberated state, one would be treated justly. Liberation is rebirth and a new beginning with resources and resolutions."
