@nhannahjones let’s talk about Harvards participation in black exploitation NOW. TODAY. Profiting from images of enslaved, while ignoring descendants. Publishing books without consent. Deplorable. #motivesmatter
@HarvardGAASA@HarvardPDC@Free_Renty If this is to be an honest discussion, Louis Agassiz, the Slave Daguerreotypes and the Reparations Lawsuit must be discussed! https://t.co/MC5tD3YCZG
This Tuesday, I'll be arguing against @Harvard's motion to dismiss the @Free_Renty lawsuit. We must force Harvard to stop profiting from photos of a slave named #PapaRenty, and to remit them to his descendants!

Absolutely incredible job to the plaintiffs! @HarvardPDC
As @Harvard students, we are ashamed, we are angry, we have been misled and lied to by this institution, and we WILL not let this stand. #banharvard#stopadmissions
Our descendants will know clearly what ideas and policies are wrong, even if some Americans can't see that today in the fog of propaganda.
To learn more about the slaveholder's mentality, check out this essay I wrote earlier this year.

@JDeWPerry @DainaRameyBerry BTW: Great seeing you at the @HarvardPDC@Harvard Slavery: Then & Now Convening ~ Harvard can’t hide forever; Truth loves light ✨
We must step out of the whirlwind + see what’s going on. There are people challenging racism + there are people trying to discredit and destroy those of us who are challenging racism, from Trump on down. But they’ll never stop our calls for justice. Together, we are unstoppable.
As we mourn the tremendous loss of her passing, one thing is clear: we must honor Justice Ginsburg’s last wish and ensure that no replacement is appointed until a new president is installed in January. My full statement:

Harvard & Slavery: Then & Now is a student-organized convening that connects past and present struggles to shed light on the life and afterlife of slavery at Harvard.
🚨Harvard Corruption Alert🚨
In the wake of a Board of Overseers election where pro-divestment petition candidates swept the field, the Harvard admin is changing the rules to almost eliminate petition candidates from the Board.

If there is any consolation to be found in tonight’s effrontery its that Harvard’s deception and cultural appropriation was on display this evening for everyone to see!
These white women just appropriated #SayHerName. They are clutching this book in their clammy hands KNOWING @Harvard has done everything possible to undermine @tamaralanier's claims to her enslaved anscestor's photographs.
