@DanielPinchbeck Did you ever get to @Graeber_social and Wengrow's 'The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity'? If not, I have a strong sense it'll land as significant. A goldmine of vernacular intelligence. Here, for example, discussing early encounters between settlers and N. Americans.
James Lawson, who invited Dr. King to Memphis for his fateful encounter, told me once he refers to King's murder as a 'crucifixion'. Why was Dr. King ["among the most hated men in America" @TheKingCenter] crucified? Why was Jesus crucified? We know why @UniteThePoor.
