Original Note:
The original meaning of woke in the political sense comes from AAVE and means to be aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice). Black history is very much relevant to the discussion. https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/culture/21437879/stay-woke-wokeness-history-origin-evolution-controversy https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/woke-meaning-origin#:~:text=Woke%20is%20now%20defined%20in,the%20Black%20Lives%20Matter%20movement.
