🖤✊🏽OLIVE MORRIS✊🏽🖤
The more our history is hidden the more we seek, search, and find out about it. I am so thankful and proud of our sister, Olive Elaine Morris. Ms. Morris was born in Jamaica but most of her legacy and damage to white supremacy are indelibly marked in the UK. Olive parents migrated to South London when she was a nine year old child. Olive was drawn to equal rights for her people at a young age! As a black teen, she joined the British Black Panther organization to bring relief and equality to her people in the UK, specifically to black women. Olive Morris was passionate about ensuring melanated people were free from racial injustice and oppression. Olive E. Morris died at the age of 27 doing what she loved, without fear. Olive Morris definitely had the feisty signature of a melanated black woman crafted in her heart for the battle. As a community activist, Olive E. Morris hunger and thirst to unleash all of her black excellence into the universe towards liberty and justice grew. Olive Morris created her own platforms like The Brixton Black Woman's Group and the Organisation of African Women and Asian Decent to combat the unruly cycles of racism. Olive E. Morris did not like her name but I want you to remember that name (Olive Elaine Morris)!
Olive Elaine Morris is inspirational warfare just like you and all the other freedom fighters today. Thankfully, she did not sit down, wait around, or remain passive in an effort to obtain liberation for black women. Olive Elaine Morris was a victim of police brutality which did not stop her magic. It only fueled her movement! Morris founded many organizations and remained proactive during her time here. If she was alive today she would be that woman who would be raising lots of hell about how they are arresting melanated girls and boys at 8 and 5 years old. Just like you, she would always speak out against police brutality especially when a black man tries to convey that he is a paraplegic but isn't given the benefit of belief. Instead he is treated like his life does not matter and throne around like a piece of trash. I believe that if Olive was here she would've joined forces with some American organizations to demand policy is changed. Police officers who often engage in violation of their oath would have their pensions taken away. I bet all of that brutality will stop. This is why it is imperative to acknowledge women like Olive Elaine Morris. When they start, our resistance can't stop and it won't stop!

Olive Morris cousin, Ms. Annette Pateman speaks candidly about Olive life, her education, and activism. This proves how our struggles of oppression is a nation to nation problem. It also teaches us how black people fought back and resisted their colonizers from tampering with their freedoms. It illustrates how we always have to continue rising above white supremacy and against it!
