Black history, right here. Details and page spreads from 'Gordon Parks: Stokely Carmichael and Black Power,' published by @steidl @gordonparksfoundation & @mfahouston⁠ ⁠ Gordon Parks’ 1967 @life magazine essay “Whip of Black Power” is a nuanced profile of the young, controversial civil rights leader Stokely Carmichael. As chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Carmichael gained national attention and inspired media backlash when he issued the call for Black Power in Greenwood, Mississippi, in June 1966. Parks shadowed him from the fall of 1966 to the spring of 1967, as Carmichael gave speeches, headed meetings and promoted the growing Black Power movement. Parks’ photos and writing addressed Carmichael’s intelligence and humor, presenting the whole man behind the headline-making speeches and revealing his own advocacy of Black Power and its message of self-determination and love.⁠ ⁠ 'Stokely Carmichael and Black Power' delves into Parks’ groundbreaking presentation of Carmichael, with analysis of his images and accompanying text about the charismatic leader. Lisa Volpe explores Parks’ complex understanding of the movement and its leader, and Cedric Johnson frames Black Power within the heightened political moment of the late 1960s. Carmichael’s own voice is represented through a reprint of his important 1966 essay “What We Want.”⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ @lisamvolpe #gordonparks #stokelycarmichael #blackpower #blackhistory #whipofblackpower #whatwewant https://www.instagram.com/p/CoxNpuzuv1S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

WhatweWant...

Who knows what they truly want? I mean we know what we want in the snap of a moment or in the blink of an eye; but what does one truly want? Each is different, each is unique. What I want can differ or be the same as many others. "What I Want" the words role off the lips yet are they true? Is what we want truly what we want or are they merely scattered truth of our being clues...?

What We Want (short story)

"Anon?"

"Yes, my love?" I reply, rather dashingly.

She laughs. A musical sound, full of mirth. She sees right through my bullshit; we seldom bother with pet names for each other.

A pause. Then: "Where do you see us in five years?"

Another pause, my turn. Measuring my words carefully. "You know what? I've never really thought that far ahead. To be honest, I'm kind of surprised - pleasantly so - that you still keep me around after all this time."

I smile wryly. She smiles back, waiting. I continue.

"But if you mean, do I see us - married, maybe? A house, with a white picket fence; a dog, maybe a cat; and - one-point-two kids? Is that the statistical average these days?"

She laughs, softly this time. Coaxingly. I'm committed now.

"Well, if that's what you mean, then I guess - whatever you envision for yourself in five years, I see myself doing the same."

She cocks her head, smiles impishly at me. "That's a very long-winded way of not answering the question."

Another wry smile; I reserve my best of them for her. "So, 'I want what you want' - that isn't good enough?"

Her expression fades. Serious now. "It's not all about me, you know that. It's what you want for yourself too."

I nod, slowly; walk to the foot of the bed where she sits, observing me. I sit down on the floor, take her hand in mine. "True. But it doesn't cost me anything to do what makes you happy. It's not a transaction, like give and take."

Her brow furrows; she's formulating a rebuttal. I suppress a smile. I adore her most when she's passionate about something. "Relationships take work. Compromise. Isn't that - the definition of give and take?" she counters. She's right, of course. Usually is, on matters of the heart.

I close my eyes. Recite something I read long ago that stuck somehow:

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep; the more I give to thee,

The more I have, for both are infinite."

I open my eyes, look up. She gazes intently at me, her expression unfathomable. "Shakespeare?" she asks quietly.

"Juliet, to Romeo. It didn't end well for them - but at the time, nothing else mattered."

A rueful smile in spite of herself, fleeting. Pensive, she chooses not to reply.

"With you, I found a happiness that I knew existed - for some lucky few - but never expected for myself. You could never owe me anything after that."

She closes her eyes then, overcome with emotion.

Opens them again, eyes shining; her smile returning. That smile. Her lower lip trembles slightly. God she's beautiful.

"You know, each and every day - without fail, without exaggeration - I look at you and think: with all the mistakes I've made, all the regrets I have - what did I do right to deserve having you in my life, to be by your side?"

She's weeping now, silent rivulets of tears down her face.

But still she smiles, tremulously. My chest tightens as I speak once more.

"And yet, here I am. Here we are."

I kiss her hand then. Silence.

"So when I say, 'I want what you want' - it's the truth. I do love you, after all."

Something catches in my throat. I'm glad I've run out of things to say.

Her hand rises to my cheek. She stares at me a long moment, thoughtfully. Gathering herself.

When she finally speaks, her voice quavers, but is full of resolve. A decision made.

"I want - I want to be married to you."

My turn to be speechless. "...Really? ...Seriously?"

She laughs, shakily, with relief this time.

"Yes, you fool. Now come here." She pulls me up onto the bed, my face to hers.

Another laugh, full of promise.

What is that We Want to Get Out of Life? Live the Life We Want? Nobody gets out of life alive... So What We Want in Life Should be What Makes Us Feel Alive... I'm not a believer in "You Only Live Once" as You can Always Restart Your Life. But I agree with the similar concept that You Only Die Once - You Only Have 1 Life. P.S. Restart Your Life somewhere if you don't like the life you are living now. #WhatWeWant #WhatDoYouWant #WhatDoIWant #WhatDoYouWantInLife #AllMenMustDie #ValarMorghulis #ValarDohaeris #AllMenMustServe #LifePurpose #LifePassion #Desire #CreateTheLifeYouWant #CreateTheLifeYouLove #Freedom #YouOnlyLiveOnce #YOLO #YouOnlyDieOnce #BestLife #BestLifeEver #YODO #NoRegrets #NoRegret #Restart #Reset #ResetYourLife #RestartYourLife #LiveNow #LiveFree #LiveFreely #LivingMyBestLife https://www.instagram.com/p/Cft3WQcpJcC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

In my experience, “Happiness is less about getting what we want and more about how well we deal with not getting what we want.” Acceptance is key. What we resist tends to persist. If we fail to accept things as they are we hold ourselves back from what actually is, which can even be better than what we wanted : ) #Happiness #WhatWeWant #WhatWeDoNotWant #AcceptanceIsKey #NotGettingWhatWeWant #Acceptance https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkliwtskHP/?igshid=13ooegqjttw0m

God knows what we want, but he also knows what is best for us and will give us, in every situation and location what is best, even if it doesn’t seem best to us at street level.

WhatWeWant...

Can you see for me what I can see for myself and can I do the same? Visions of a shared world where each of us can be what we want, dream what we want and make life as we see fit without interference is a beautiful thing to need... But can we actually want that for each other? Can we reach a day where what we each want is just find and help each other to succeed...

Have a great day my dears 💗

This is how we're treated in reality. The parallels are horrifyingly correct. But having a female role model with proper representation would be nice...

avengers endgame treated their female characters terribly 

natasha romanoff: 

spent the five years after the snap acting as the leader of the avengers and was never given any recognition. sacrificed her life for the universe and the ones she loved most. and what was she given in return? whiny man pain, a single tear down steve’s face, and bruce banner throwing a bench into the water. (compare to tony, who died surrounded by his loved ones, had people kneel around him, and a funeral)

okoye & valkyrie: 

sidelined for the entirety of the film 

carol danvers:

sidelined for the entirety of the film despite being the most powerful character

nebula: 

shot herself (2014 nebula) in the head. while this is symbolic and all, 2014 nebula could have grown and changed just like 2024 nebula had if she was given the chance. nebula ALSO didn’t get to kill her abuser (thanos) both of the times he died over the course of the film. 

gamora: 

was never mentioned after being brutal killed by her abuser. instead of allowing closure or redemption for the character (or hey, found a way to bring her back), they brought the gamora from another timeline into the mix. 

pepper potts: 

sidelined and treated primarily as a love interest

hope: 

functioned primarily as a love interest and motivator to the Man (scott mourned her and that was his main reason for trying to save the universe, despite the other loved ones he lost in the snap)

peggy carter: 

no lines. exists for the man. treated 10000% as The Love Interest. had all of her character development ( she moved on from steve, became more independent) and her future (she married someone else, probably sousa, had kids, etc etc) completely demolished and erased 

but yah. that one scene of #girlpower really made up for this shit right (:
