I'm so proud of this (& EVERY) episode of the PBS series, "American Muslims: A History Revealed." This episode features the stories of Black American Muslims in 1920s Chicago, & highlights the life of Florence Watts/Sister Zeineb, an early convert. 1/9

With all the lies being spread about Haitians, I want to share some books for those genuinely searching to understand our past. How did we get here? Why is Haiti time & time again the scapegoat for politicians & the media. These books are helpful. Education is a cure for hate.🇭🇹

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

“The world won’t get no better if we just let it be.”

Rev. #JamesLawson Jr. embodied these lyrics.

He was a courageous nonviolent strategist who taught many to meet injustice with what my father called "soul force."

My condolences to his family.

May his legacy live on.

Now, as departments across the nation with few or no representation of their ever-diversifying student bodies are finally trying to fix this, people are turning a blind eye to how this moment is part of a longer narrative of exclusion and marginalization in higher ed.
