Wonderful, Birrion! Obama was in certain ways the worst president of them all, because his smooth talking and prevarication let him get away with endless crimes. I'd add, to your list of vastly more worthy folks to be honored, Ida B. Wells, Tom Paine, John Brown, James Baldwin, Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, Paul Robeson, WEB DuBois, Howard Zinn, Cesar Chavez, Martin Luther King Jr., Helen Caldicott (even though Australian), Mumia Abu-Jamal, Harvey Milk and many others, as you said!

I will never forget his lies and betrayals. In some ways, he is a worse con man than trump.

They treat obama like royalty, it is sickening

Bernadine questionable. angela davis is a sell out, Hampton was way cool. i recently found out from, friend who worked with chavez with his brother, that chavez was a rabid mccarthyite and fucked up the communists here, that is what undermined him for so long. Huerta might have been only thing the revived it, that grapes of wrath was effective campaign. Newton and Cleaver were bad ones.... Newton, pretty sure he did more than rape, but was involved with murders. I think Bobby knows, but just stays quiet ... gotta run
