Same. Cal from 2006-2016. Very moved by this video and inspired by the memories, and history, it brings to mind.

Mayor Michelle Wu canceled an event at Harvard after nine student organizations withdrew from sponsoring the talk over her decision to send police to end a pro-Palestine encampment at Emerson College.

This quote. Evergreen.

Shame shame shame Princeton University. Two of our students arrested, evicted, and permanently barred from campus. There is nothing “inherently unsafe” about encampments. The university MAKES them unsafe by criminalizing tents and sending campus police to intimidate protestors.

More than a thousand students, faculty, and staff walked out of class today at the U of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus in solidarity with the 9 arrested this morning—7 were students—for trying to setup an anti-genocide encampment. Beautiful. #FreePalestine

I'm excited to announce the publication of my article, ''A New Era of Black Thought': Revisiting Gil Scott-Heron and the HBCU Protest Novel,' in the latest issue of The Vermont Connection!

Last night, @JarvisRGivens delved into the rich history of Black education in the U.S., shared stories of 'fugitive pedagogy' in the Jim Crow era, and introduced his groundbreaking 'Black Teacher Archive.' Did you miss his illuminating talk? Watch it here: lnkd.in/gTDsfekF

Packed house tonight for @JarvisRGivens' talk on the history of Black education in the United States, the practice of 'fugitive pedagogy' by Black educators, and his Black Teacher Archive project, which is digitizing contributions by Black educators—spanning from 1907 to 1973.

I got so excited about the B&N special that I shared the book cover without giving it a special 'debut announcement.' I am thrilled to share the cover of my next book, A FORGOTTEN MIGRATION. Isn't it beautiful?!? 1/
