Thank you @nytimes "'Economy Hall'” is so inviting that the true depth of its scholarship is revealed only in its bibliography, which lists dozens of archival and other sources. Shaik’s monumental book ...is lyrical and mysterious and always captivating." https://t.co/LaAubWYYuU

1 year ago, Ralph Yarl was shot in the head after he rang the wrong doorbell in Kansas City, Missouri. Although this young man was involved in a severely traumatic experience, he won't let it define him — he plans to study engineering at a university next fall. 🙏🏿

@WendellPierce This was a very complicated book. Ava DuVernay did a beautiful job with the movie and enhanced it with the personal story.

@MarkDuplass @988Lifeline While I don’t know you personally, I enjoy the work that you, so very beautiful and uplifting. Please remember the joy you being others not as a responsibility but as a light that you show us.

I have been thinking about how difficult it is for a Black woman to get a job. Any professional employment is an uphill battle. Given that knowledge, I can only imagine how strong and smart Kamala is.

[Freedom Writers Collaborative @FreedomWritersC]

The vice presidency is held by a groundbreaker, Kamala Harris. She's tough, dynamic & inspiring. First African American & first woman to be VP, Harris has spent her career breaking barriers so she can help us.

@jerichobrown I didn’t get to AWP but these clips make me wish I had. I applaud you.

“I got Black concerns and Black politics & bc of that my analogies include thinking about what anything that looks like occupation or colonialism must have looked like historically for Black people all over the planet.”

@blacklionking73 I am thinking about the pleasure you bring to others and hoping that you can appreciate that aspect in yourself. Do let our good thoughts about you carry away some of the sadness. You are important and valued by us.
