In August of 1619, a ship carrying enslaved Africans arrived at a port in Virginia.
On the 400th anniversary of this fateful moment, it is finally time to truthfully tell the story of black Americans — and of America itself.

Memes? Great. Memes about Shakespeare? Classically great.

"Ibram X. Kendi offers a multipronged examination of antiracism layered within an introspective account of his own life story, which in turn provides a vital blueprint and schematic for the prospect of creating a just society." @eugeneholley

Astra Taylor will change how you think about democracy. @astradisastra talks with @ezraklein on his @voxdotcom podcast. Listen, then get her book, DEMOCRACY DOESN'T EXIST, BUT WE'LL MISS IT WHEN IT'S GONE https://t.co/XgkDBImQga

We need to remember our history. It literally was a plague. Everybody died. We're still mourning. We still have PTSD. We still have HIV & Aids around - and we need to end it FAST. #endhiv #endhivstigma

There’ll be a proper sign-off later in the summer, but FYI: steadfast @drewsof will be leaving team Forum in August!

To tackle #ClimateDisruption, “The moon shot technology we need is political will,” @hal_harvey told @NYTclimate @jswatz. The deceptively simple goal, Hal also explains, should be to “decarbonize electricity, and then electrify everything.” https://t.co/OGl3FZp1NS

[Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk]

As we rightly call the POTUS racist for attacking four Congresswomen of color this morning, we should not be calling ourselves “not-racist” as Trump calls himself. If we don’t want to be like the #RacistInChief, then we should be striving to be antiracist.

[Saeed Jones @theferocity]

By the time there is buzz about great off-Broadway plays written by/about black people, the shows are always sold out or damn near impossible for black folks (without industry connections) to get into. So the audiences end up being mostly all rich white people.

This #WorldRefugeeDay, I’ve written a personal letter to Elie Wiesel, because a world that doesn’t welcome refugees like Elie is not our world. I’m so proud to be a part of @theIRC’s global call for Welcome. Join us at https://t.co/hB1aSLYNas
