"I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept."

  • Angela Davis, for those who didn't know the reference

Did she use an AK to effect her change?

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

At least once, yes.

In 1970, guns belonging to Davis were used in an armed takeover of a courtroom in Marin County, California, in which four people were killed. Prosecuted for three capital felonies—including conspiracy to murder—she was held in jail for over a year before being acquitted of all charges in 1972.

isn't this more broadly a reference to the Serenity Prayer than any one person?

[–] Enkrod@feddit.de 0 points 8 months ago

It's her reversal of the Serenity Prayer, changing it into a call to action instead of acceptance of the (seemingly) inevitable.
