This morning, I’m in St. Paul with @EducationMN President Denise Specht to visit Cassandra Sheppard’s (@mrscpearl) #CriticalEthnicStudies classroom. Cassandra is an incredible leader, whose dedication shines both through her work in the classroom and as a union activist.
This is 2 year old Wynter Cole-Smith. She was abducted on Sunday, July 2. Her body was found near Coleman Young airport in Detroit on Wednesday, July 5, 72 hours later. The case is now being considered a homicide.
It is because of little Black girls like Wynter and 100,000 other missing Black women and girls that we responded with such urgency in the case of #CarleeRussell.
We make no apologies for responding to the gravity of the moment. We will do it again if necessary.
LET’S SEE IF THE MEDIA GIVES THIS THE ATTENTION THEY GAVE 5 WHITE MISSING BILLIONAIRES IN A SUBMARINE
Miss Carlee Russell was abducted on 7/13/23 off of Interstate 459 South, mile marker 11, Exit 10 around the vicinity of Hoover High School area around 9:30pm-10:00pm in Hoover, Alabama.
Carlee is about 5’5 and 150-160lbs.
Her red Mercedes was left on the side of the interstate with all of her belongings, purse, cell phone and other items.
She stopped because she saw a baby or child on the side of the interstate. She called 911 and family members to let them know. The last person she was on the phone with heard screams.
If you have any information about her whereabouts please contact law enforcement- the Hoover Police Department.
Information posted below are from the family:
“Friends and family whatever city or state you’re in I would like to have someone spearhead search parties.
Please contact me Talitha at 1-205-401-3365 or Carlos at 205-396-6160.
Thank you and we are not receiving any negative thoughts. God is faithful and Carlee will be found safe and free from all hurt, harm and danger🙏🏾🙏🏾Lord I’m trusting you with my whole heart!!🙏🏾🙏🏾”

Learn from and celebrate with St Paul Public School students at the Critical Ethnic Studies student showcase! Saturday June 10th, 9 to 2 pm, Washington Tech.
A professor at Winston-Salem State University had one of her students arrested for the simple fact she wouldn’t apologize to her. Not only did she pull her race card, but when the other students came at her she played victim.
This is why the Black Church should be a curriculum in every University, Seminary & College. I also believe that African American Worship should also be a course in the music department as an elective for Music Majors. I can’t stop listening to this. These college students are 🔥
