“People for Palestinian – Israeli Justice” — a Souithern California group concerned with Middle East Peace, posted this about Amy after her December 2016 address in Long Beach:
Amy Hunter has recently visited the Occupied Territories on the West Bank in Palestine and says:
“My lens is truth and liberation, my stance was a bit calmer before going to Palestine and now my sense of urgency has heightened. With my travel to Palestine, there were so many similarities to what I had participated in and witnessed in Ferguson. I titled my talk ‘I Drink My Coffee Black’ for a number of reasons.
- Black coffee is served after a death, to denote mourning.
- I don’t want to forget how we are connected, ever, so I no longer use sweetener or cream in my coffee.
- Black coffee is a reminder that in order to stay the course in the work of activism, we must know the truth of violence, where it stems and how it looks.
“The Palestinians are my people too.
“As a mother I gave a talk 3 days after Mike Brown was killed. I related to the mothers I met in Palestine the entire time. Our work is to make the world a better place for our children. ”
