Today is the birthday of Ida B. Wells, my spiritual godmother. The NYT once called her a slanderous and nasty-minded mulattress. They can’t defeat your work so they try to defeat your dignity, but that is something over which they have no control. Happy Birthday to a real one.
Honored to be listed as an author alongside these incredible researchers and advocates for true #equity and inclusion in U.S. social policy. #childrenofimmigrants
