Glowing, Page 1 — Lucy Parsons

“Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote-begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals.” — Lucy Parsons

"Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote-begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals." – Lucy Parsons. These words emerge from with the seeds of a flower, travel through rain as seeds begin to germinate underground, emerge with roots and flower buds, and blossom into flowers in full bloom. The illustration is captioned: Excerpt from "The Principles of Anarchism" by Lucy Parsons. Illustrated by Calends of April. kolektiva.social/@CalendOfApril. CalendsOfApril.com/glowing. The flowers and seeds are red with sketchy black outlines, the soil is black, and the background is gray. The caption includes a circle-A for anarchism.
