I’m glad know-your-place aggression resonates as folk watch the UNC/Nikole Hannah-Jones tenure issue. Your comments reminded me of this graphic someone at Georgia Southern University made. Note: this was created before my book FROM SLAVE CABINS TO THE WHITE HOUSE was published

What a treat to catch up IRL with the one and only Dr. Robert Gilliard! (@RJGilliard) I’m so happy for him and proud of him that you’d think I had something to do with his extraordinary accomplishments!!!

"Surviving slavery in a child-bearing body was a feat, then. To write and publish about one's survival was nearly unheard of, but Harriet Jacobs did precisely that. Even more astonishing, it was only the beginning of her accomplishments" (Mitchell 15). #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth
Context for Harriet Jacobs: "[Frederick Douglass was] exceptionally well positioned to demonstrate that his achievements were unusual only because the USA did so much to rob, brutalize, and impoverish African Americans" (Mitchell 14). S/O @broadviewpress

Yesterday morning was all about #walking & crying. This AM was all about navigating Houston traffic to get to the airport. One of the things I did on my last day in town was to stop by my first elementary school. Whatever else life brings, there are always blessings to count.
