This week we share quotes from a Cornell Report story on reckoning with racism. “There may be beliefs you’ve held on to your entire life, based on your upbringing, exposure, and the media. You will be uncomfortable. It’s okay.” — Heather “Byrd” Roberts ’09 https://t.co/Jrk3rzhjcV

my fellow educators:

please stop telling students there's a difference between page poetry and spoken word. 1994 wants its argument back plus this tool is meant to reify the elitism, classism & racism of the academy & western cannon. either the shit is dope it it's not.
