We must connect the dots between the government arson and firebombing of #Wilmington, #Tulsa , #Rosewood, Forsythe County and the bombing of #MOVE in #Philadelphia. This is our national history: white backlash to #BlackLand.

The Underground Railroad was a Black mutual aid society, aided by white allies. Those societies, and the land and buildings they used to shelter freedom seekers, still exist. The United Order of Tents seeks new Black women members to save its land.

@propublica @ProPublica, you mis-name the "problem." Heirs' Property is a cultural retention of African practices that bind family relationships through land. The problem is that US law doesn't recognize collective land tenure/inheritance. The problem is that #BlackLand is stolen, not "lost"

In this essay from our #Wildness issue, Mistinguette Smith visits her grandfather’s hometown where she encounters histories of violence and survival, and a connection to land that cannot be unbound. @BlackLandProj. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/PfEFdNb3DU

@JTRoane We'd love to amp the signal to our followers- let me know what to say and where to link!

On my way to visit a community in rural Alabama, I discovered my own Black/Land story waiting for me at the crossroads. Read about it in my essay "By Land, Made Kin" https://t.co/Tpoo7Hef8l

If your feminism/activism/work/voice/money does not extend to the safety of black people, you and I have nothing to say to one another.

When we say black land is a site of black resistance, what do we mean? Try these questions on for size: https://t.co/MZ06qAoifA

What place does "wildness" hold in black life and imagination? What gifts emerge from the wild, black margins? https://t.co/wziY7pm8zl
