Movement in Omaha for Racial Equity

Movement in Omaha for Racial Equity MORE is an antiracist organization fighting for racial equity in communities through engagement, education, and advocacy.

FROM MORE'S ANTIRACISM STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:

We need to overcome the race-based estrangement that currently exists between communities of color and our local institutions and nonprofits. Through cultural and racial humility, we can work towards civically re-engaging communities of color in meaningful and shared efforts to enhance quality of life. Mutual respect and appreciation have to be reestab

lished. Genuine linkages between communities of color and the practices of public policy making must be nourished. For that to happen, communities must feel safe, heard, appreciated and recognized as the experts they are in the policies and practices that effect their own well-being. Slowly but surely, we can encourage and strengthen social and communication networks, prompt the emergence of common concerns and hopes, and affirm and advance mutual interests. Through planning and decision-making driven by communities of color, we will adopt antiracist policy recommendations as well as changes in organizational practice. In this manner, we will cooperatively replenish the stock of vital social capital required to expand and animate meaningful multi-racial civic engagement, and positively contribute to the evolution of responsive, forward acting, antiracist public and private institutions. By expanding the capacity of communities of color to become public policy makers, we can re-energize the human infrastructure necessary to support more dynamic and vibrant communities that are antiracist to the core.

We must be careful when invoking Woodson, King, and Malcolm X in contemporary political debates. Their words are too often subjected to rhetorical appropriation, political instrumentalization, decontextualization, and context stripping—cherry-picking statements from a particular historical moment and repurposing them to support contemporary political positions they were not addressing and, in many cases, certainly would not have endorsed.

Quoting a Black intellectual or freedom fighter does not automatically make their words support our politics. Historical figures deserve historical context. If we invoke Woodson, King, or Malcolm, we should engage their ideas in their entirety—not selectively extract their words to manufacture an endorsement for an agenda they never articulated.
