I mistrust folks who say they're "not political" even more than MAGATs, Kluckers, & the wannabe leaders of Gilead. They're either lying, or they're so apathetic & clueless they're helping to propel the agendas of the aforementioned. #politicalstand #Resist #grassroots #Blackpower

Small clip from the end of my talk at the @unecgh in Portland. Historical erasure is dangerous on multiple levels. Always. @pandelectures @pande_literary @UNC_Press @SonyaBonczek @DGershenowitz #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #Blackwomen #Slavery
This was such a powerful moment from Amrita Chakrabarti Myers' CGH lecture on "The Vice President's Black Wife." @CountessCanuck

Did you know: it wasn't illegal to teach enslaved people to read & write in 19c KY. This & other laws were used to support the myth that slavery was "kinder & gentler" in the Bluegrass State. It wasn't. Read The VPBW for more #BlackHistory #blackhistory365 #BlackHistoryMonth

A blessed MLK, Jr. Day to all who celebrate the whole, tough, uncomfortable King, not just the quotes that make you feel good. King was roundly hated when he died, by folks of ALL races. Of course y'all quote him now. It's easy to love a dead man. Carry on. #mlkday2025 #History
