I’ve been promoted to FULL PROFESSOR with TENURE at Harvard! Couldn’t have cleared this major hurdle (in record time) without the mentors, friends, and intellectual partners who supported me along the way. This is absolutely a collective success. Onward & Upward!

The coil basket on your left was made by a Gullah Geechee woman in the South Carolina Lowcountry. The one on your right was made in the Kongo Kingdom—which included parts of what is now Angola, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, and the DRC.

Grateful to all of you who reached out about this illegal, unauthorized production. Now lawyers do their work.
And always grateful to the @dramatistsguild, who have the backs of writers everywhere, be it your first play or your fiftieth. 1/2

@jarvisrgivens @Harvard_Press @hgse Just finished your book. Thank you for the gift. As an assistant principal in an elementary school you have me rethinking the role I play in my building.

A few weeks ago, parents, activists and educators in a red state where Republicans hold a legislative supermajority successfully beat back an anti-history (CRT) law, & yet I saw no national coverage of it at all. This says something important about media. https://t.co/DX8VhARxTh

On this day in 1969, Chicago Police officers assassinated Black Panther Party leaders Fred Hampton and Mark Clark by firing over 90 bullets during a pre-dawn apartment raid. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. https://t.co/57mdYtDos7

History teaches us to see the quick spiral from Charlottesville --> Jan. 6th --> the banning of books and uncomfortable facts. That's why they want to ban history. If you haven't spoken up yet (to your local school board, state representative), don't wait.

Jeff Bezos wealth in 2001: $1.5 billion
Jeff Bezos wealth in 2021: $193 billion

Average weekly wage in 1973: $872.44
Average weekly wage in 2021: $840.08

Jeff Bezos would be worth nothing without workers. The fight for $15 AND a union must rage on.
