    Descendants of those buried in Boyd Carter cemetery—a historic African-American burial ground in WV—are fighting to protect their sacred space from destruction by a pipeline company. Love & thanks to the descendants for allowing me to share their story.

    My book on white supremacy in New England isn’t gonna write itself. Off Twitter until I finish this thing. Apologies in advance if you message me and I’m slow to respond.

    I'm sharing this because I see this all the time & I need y'all to understand: white supremacy will never be defeated as long as we keep waging these battles on the backs of POC. Every step of your anti-racism efforts must prioritize the humanity of POC or you will fail.

    (Un)believable. Vile beyond words.

    Breaking: Florida senate passes bill requiring those with past felony convictions to pay all restitution, fines & fees before becoming eligible to vote. This is modern day poll tax undermining historic ballot initiative that could block over 500,000 people from the ballot box

    Mainstream media’s inordinate coverage of Buttigieg is a loud indication of its love affair with white liberalism neatly packaged in the shape of a youngish white gay-married centrist democrat candidate. The appeal they are imagining him to have is of their making. It’s vexing.

    I'm really excited to hear about this good news, but I'm also sitting here thinking about the fact that there were *zero* bookstores in the Bronx before this which is deeply upsetting.

    On , I’m thinking about our country’s long history of workers making their voices heard and demanding change—just like the Lawrence, MA mill workers did over a century ago. The Bread and Roses strike inspires me to this day, and reminds us to keep fighting for our rights.

    Why am I heading to my 6 year-old grandson’s elementary school in affluent neighborhood in DC because a white kid called him a “nigger” & threatened to go get a gun & shoot him??? The kid not yet kicked out nor the police called ??? Welcome again to Trump’s white racist America.

    The 1st Annual National was a tremendous success. Delighted that Dr. Kendi graced with this crucial book fest, and that Dr. Holcomb-McCoy, Dean of the AU School of Education, was also in attendance as a brilliant moderator.
