This is not a rhetorical question. Betty Friedan passed away a little over a week after Coretta Scott King's passing. With Rosa Park's death, we can comfortably say the golden age of activism is over, done, and buried under the sands of time.
Picketing will never be effective as a social tool for political change. Ever.
There is something else that their deaths bring up for me. In looking at archival pictures of these two women, and revisiting some of Betty Friedan's writing, I have to ask : Is social justice and equality and either/or proposition?
Do I have to choose this?
Over this?
And I picked these pictures deliberately. Look closely at these pictures and tell me what's so obvious about them.
