🤔 Did you know? 90% of the data ever produced was created in the last 2 years.

Learn from @DescartesLabs co-founder Adam Smith how they use #AWS to turn massive amounts of satellite data into near real-time insights for commercial & government customers. https://t.co/VxyI80avqQ

I’ve talked a bit about my family, the Pamunkey tribe’s historic anti-blackness, and the enrollment case for which we have enlisted the help of Congresswoman @RepGwenMoore and a tribal lawyer, but now I want to take time to explain the whole story.

@AzieDee @TodaysDAR Here’s another aspect of conflict. I wouldn’t be comfortable attending events designed to "promote patriotism".

[CumboFamilyTree @CumboFamilyTree]

@AzieDee @TodaysDAR The history is tragic and I can’t discern what your ancestor would have wanted. DAR represents an additional channel for representing your ancestors story.

Charles W. Chesnutt was a prominent African American author, who despite living much of his life in the North, spent his formative years in North Carolina. Indeed, many of his stories were set in NC. #DiscoverSummerNC #ReadNC https://t.co/Oh6CZG6dxZ marker in Fayetteville

The Clotilda, the last slave ship to arrive in the U.S., docked in Mobile, AL 160 years ago today. Here’s a blog I wrote on Cudjo Lewis, who arrived on that ship, his African name and mine. https://t.co/5sOGAuWZUH
