So cool!

They are in totally different and very unrelated fields but you can tell they genuinely learnt about it regardless. This is the style that'll have you bouncing your head every Sunday morning 💕

I must be late to the party. But I just learned #flip is being discontinued or swallowed up into #microsoftteams. Whatever the case, I'll have to figure out a significant change to my online courses.

@annyreyesNeuro @ClevelandClinic I'm super excited for you. You have come such a long way since we traveled to Egypt together. I don't have any specific tips for your new role. However, general tips would be to get comfortable with being unbalanced. Remember your why. Pace your "yes" and sharpen your "no."

[Rashaun J. Allen | #TheBluesCryForARevolution @RashaunJAllen]

Wow. This is interesting. But not surprising.

Breaking news 😆: A new study finds members of Congress whose families once owned slaves are substantially wealthier than those whose families did not. #slaveryarchive https://t.co/sWIeFtm7eh

If you know anyone over the age of 60 years old that’s interested in auditing a class at Brooklyn College. Let them know it’s $50/course AND you get gym and pool access for the semester. 🙏🏾‼️

@la_sangre_llama @jenissamichelle @bookendslit Congratulations

Thank you! Some folks questioning her blackness probably can't describe their own lineage beyond one or two grandparents.

[Marc Lamont Hill @marclamonthill]

Black people have never practiced racial gatekeeping in ways that would deny the racial legitimacy of someone like Kamala Harris, who is: 1) the child of a Black parent; 2) phenotypically Black; 3) self-identified as Black; and 4) actively and proudly engages Black institutions, traditions, and customs. You can raise legitimate questions about lineage, relationships to slavery, etc. But to say she's not Black is absurd. And absolutely NOT consistent with our racial logics.

A thread

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

The meeting was over.

I was still confused. So I asked what that was about & who is Dr. Sellers? Miss Sellers, NOT MY MOM, said:

"White people are stupid."

Here's another story:

After Brown vs. Board THOUSANDS of Black teachers lost their jobs

Side note: I wrote all this out and forgot to involve the #WritingCommunity

[Rashaun J. Allen | #TheBluesCryForARevolution @RashaunJAllen]

Although, a study did not show RXR had indeed built upon unmarked graves. At 55 Clinton Place, New Rochelle along the plaza between One Clinton Park and Two Clinton Park you can find my poem "Unforget" installed. Thank you to everyone who made this possible!

In a small amount of time I learned a lot about the New Rochelle landscape. For one, where RXR was building possibly wasn't the only unmarked grave site in New Rochelle.
