       legal and cultural infrastructures that would be adopted to
       enfold Latino and Asian Americans in the multicultural democracy
       Black Americans fought for. The wave of the “minority rights
       revolution” of the 1970s and 1980s that included Latino rights
       and Asian rights activism was built on the backs of the Black
       Americans who fought for collective freedom. These immigrant
       movements would compare themselves to Black Americans as a
       strategy, claiming they were “like Black” to make demands that
       would resonate with the public, to garner the political power
       necessary to win recognition and political, material and social
       resources.

       >
       > Two decades ago, when labor organizers in Los Angeles began
       working to raise political consciousness around the exploitation
       of immigrant workers, they devised an Immigrant Workers Freedom
       Ride inspired by the civil rights movement's Freedom Rides of
       1961. The strategy would draw public attention to immigrant
       workers rights as civil rights deserving of political
       protection. Having received the support of Black civil rights
       leaders, 900 riders boarded 18 buses departing from 10 cities
       with 100 planned stops, including major sites of civil rights
       struggles.
       >
       > The ride had a transformative outcome. In learning about and
       visiting the living histories of the civil rights movement,
       immigrant activists were better able to see their own
       experiences of exploitation, discrimination and
       “invisibilization” through a new lens. Their lives and
       collective struggles were interconnected with Black Americans'.

       > Similarly, in June 2018, the Council on American-Islamic
       Relations, the Muslim American civil rights organization known
       as CAIR, embarked on a civil rights tour in Alabama. The
       monthlong campaign followed 30 Muslim American civil rights
       leaders and activists from around the country on a tour of
       symbolic sites significant to the civil rights movement.
       >
       > Through their reflections on social media, Muslim leaders made
       powerful connections between the present-day violence,
       surveillance and day-to-day discrimination experienced by Muslim
       American immigrants and the persistent violence and bravery of
       Black civil rights activists in the 1960s. They were overcome
       with emotion when they learned the roots of Muslim history in
       the United States, one rooted in the experiences of Black
       enslaved people.
       >
       > And many became more aware of their immigrant communities’
       strategic distance from Black Americans and their buy-in to the
       “model minority” identity. Muslim immigrant activists confronted
       the realities that their communities have also been anti-Black.
       >
       > Through an honest, emergent understanding of their place and
       complicity in the racial order, Muslim organizers understood
       that reckoning with the past provided them a bridge for
       coalition-building with Black Americans.
       >
       > Historical reckonings are messy work. They require a
       commitment to collective reflection and discomfort. Groups have

       harm they have caused and a dedication to doing better.
       Reckonings come with the recognition that change does not come
       quickly or easily, but with faith and persistence, in the spirit
       of the ongoing Black freedom struggle.

       forging a wide solidarity politics across race and class among
       communities. As King wrote in his letter from the Birmingham
       jail just months before the March on Washington: “We are caught
       in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment
       of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all
