I’m just a simple girl from a small village—The Bronx.

UMass folks: we’re being asked to email the chancellor- we support the students, we are watching, we are outraged, stop the arrests, they have our full support and we support their demands fully!

[Crystal S. Donkor @CrystalDonkor]

Yes, friend! Your reflections (and insights) will be much appreciated!

[metaphysicsofchildhood @cgirlreads]

Looking forward to reflecting on my own MANY rejections 🫠 (seriously!) and hopefully offering, at the very least, some solace and solidarity 💫

"The Underground Railroad was an act of Black memorialization when the freedoms won through the war were threatened by new iterations of anti-Black violence being used to dismantle Reconstruction," writes @jwbernier today at @BlkPerspectives. https://t.co/vMFEU2aLYT

[Crystal S. Donkor @CrystalDonkor]

@Crystallynnweb Absolutely gross!

@XineYaoPhD @DukePress If my plane ever takes off from this airport, I’m going to go buy this book and then try to find you tomorrow to get it signed.

[jwb @jwbernier]

This is the hardest thing I’ve worked on. It was full of enraging & shattering revelations that always hurt so much to find. @JustinLSimard & I tried to understand what we could of Isham’s life with care & are grateful to those who helped us do so.
