We celebrate the anniversaries of the 15th and 19th Amendments through the life & work of the great Black poet and activist Frances Harper

Last night @OperaPhila debuted "Save the Boys," Tyshawn Sorey's opera based on Frances Harper's poem from 1887. Listen to Frances's words come alive today, reflecting on the pain and hope of our time. Thanks @petercrimmins and @WHYYNews

Frances Harper's 1887 poem "Save the Boys" is the inspiration for Tyshawn Sorey's new @OperaPhila work, which debuts Feb 12. You can watch on the excellent Opera Philadelphia Channel. https://t.co/k5Z2zIr0J8

All right, let's try something new. If you’re in the United States, send me a text at 773-365-9687 — I want to hear how you're doing, what's on your mind, and how you're planning on voting this year.

I'll be in touch from time to time to share what's on my mind, too.

The state of Kentucky deemed the lives of Breonna Taylor’s neighbors to be worth more than her own. Let that sink in.

What can we learn about the conflicted history between 1870, when the 15th Amendment was ratified, and 1920, when the 19th was ratified? What does all this tell us about #BlackLivesMatter?
