The way he cannot bring himself to use the word "racist" to describe how he, Usha, and other non-white Republicans have been treated by Republicans.

He tries to frame it as being "unamerican," but it's as American as apple pie. Take it from this slave descendant whose family fought in the civil war.

Kendrick Perkins just said this is the most important game in OKC franchise history, like they didn’t make it to the finals before, or like Russ and KD didn’t play the Warriors in the western finals.
And nobody checked him.

So happy to announce that my forthcoming article with Global Black Thought, "Exposing the Racial Illogics of Jim Crow Segregation: Mary Church Terrell's Situational Resistance," won AAIHS's 2025 Maria Stewart Journal Article Prize! Congratulations to the other winners as well!

#DouglassDay speaking to something I've been thinking about a lot lately: we must work to make and to preserve the history that we care about. Again, something that's increasingly important in our present moment.

[Justin Smith, Ph.D. @PSU_JustinSmith]

Watching #DouglassDay from home for the first time. Though I'm missing out on being in in-person community, I'm excited to be able to watch, listen, learn, and, finally get to really dig into these transcriptions!

[Justin Smith, Ph.D. @PSU_JustinSmith]

Douglass's words indeed continue to be all too relevant to our current moment.

♥️Yeah, yeah I know it's Valentine's Day (👋🏽@valencho06) but if you want to truly transcend, today is #DouglassDay. Observance is forever. https://t.co/B2qdbDn8x1
