Marvin X teaches in the most dangerous classroom in the world! Literally, his classroom is the where the Oscar Grant Rebellion took place; Occupy Oakland and all other liberation struggles, including I Can't Breathe and Black Lives Matter. We are declaring this area The Black Arts Movement District. We want you to support us in claiming this sacred space for culture, art and economics. We must pressure our politicians to declare the Black Arts Movement District that will honor and respect the revolutionary warriors in the arts, politics, business and educational struggle in Oakland, including the Black Panther Party and the Black Arts Movement. We want to see the appropriate banners up and down 14th Street.
We call upon the Black Chamber of Commerce and other Black businessmen and women to support this project that will support themselves. Paul Cobb of the
Post News Group told Marvin X, "Marvin X, we will owe you millions of dollars for proposing the Black Arts Movement District. But at least we have moved from 7th Street to 14th Street, yes, we have doubled our progress."
