Tecumseh in the Time of Monsanto: A Voice in the Wind. Part 3 of 3

By Ricardo Levins Morales on September 4, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

There are no discontinuities in history. The trees of today were yesterday’s seeds; the gentle hills were once mountains, worn down by time; the transformation of forest into desert proceeds by small […]

Tecumseh in the Time of Monsanto, Part 2 of 3

By Ricardo Levins Morales on September 4, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

The United States in Tecumseh’s day was bold and brash but untested, its survival far from assured. It had only won independence with backing from the Dutch, Spanish and (decisively) the French […]

By Ricardo Levins Morales on September 4, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it." Fr. Edward Dowling

The Minneapolis Police have been getting the kind of attention they don’t like. Twice, recently, officers have been filmed engaging in racist harassment. The department was already in damage control mode after […]

Things that Being an Artist Has Taught Me about Changing the World: random installment 3

By Ricardo Levins Morales on August 7, 2013 • ( Leave a comment )

  10) Dangerous dreams. The African anti-colonial leader Amilcar Cabral described culture as “the collective personality of a people.” The arts, then, are its collective dreamlife. If there are issues, experiences or […]

Climate Change, Climate of Fear

Stop global warming with natural energy and grassroots power

  A giant moose puppet, lumbers across the Mississippi River over Minneapolis’ Stone Arch Bridge. A serpentine pipeline slithers behind, complete with a black trash-bag oil leak spewing from a gash in […]

Art for Social Justice by Ricardo Levins Morales

Trayvon and the road ahead

"Until the killing of black men, black mothers' sons, becomes as important to the rest of the country as the killing of a white mother's sons, we who believe in freedom cannot rest until this happens." - Ella Baker 1964

  “What do we do now?” While marchers chanted “No justice, no peace,” this question kept coming up in interactions along the route. The question was about more than the verdict. It […]
