Why "power to the People" Chorus Co-Founder and Creator Council Chair, Zackory Kirk, on the message behind the Power to the People phrase:
"I selected Power to the People because a statement of solidarity born in Oakland in '67 doesn't belong in a museum. It belongs on a body, in a room, in the conversation. I'm from Mississippi, a place where people died for the right to vote — where Freedom Summer wasn't a slogan but a body count. I wear this because that right still isn't secured, and I'm not going to pretend it is." -Zackory Kirk, Ed. D.
