This is my January/February reading list.

Anybody interested in doing a virtual reading group? I’d post the PDFs* to Perusall for group annotation and then we’d discuss weekly

.Brandon M. Erby is the fellow whose journey I’ll witness most closely, and what a treat that is! The dynamic intellectual and activist portrait that he’s going to make sure we have of Mamie Till-Mobley will do justice to her and to the folk with whom she deliberately worked.

I’m invigorated by having encountered the intellectual community this year’s Institute for Citizens & Scholars cohort is cultivating. They’ve done what most haven’t: started jobs in a pandemic, managed to do good work while dealing with more than we can know, & came determined to support each other.

Today, on what would have been Emmett Till’s 82nd birthday, President Biden signed a proclamation to establish the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument.

This Administration is committed to protecting places that help tell a more complete story of our nation’s history.

Thank you!

Mamie Till made sure the world knew what happened to her son. She sat in a court room and listened to him be dehumanized over and over then watched his killers be set free. She endured what no mother should. May she and Emmett rest in peace.
