On June 19, 1865 Union General Gordon Granger announced that “all slaves are free” in Galveston, Texas.

Eleven years ago today, nine Black worshippers were murdered during Bible study at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston.

Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney. Cynthia Hurd. Susie Jackson. Ethel Lance. Rev. Depayne Middleton-Doctor. Tywanza Sanders. Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr. Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton. Myra Thompson.

We say their names and remember the sacredness of their lives.

This was not only a mass shooting. It was a heinous act of white supremacy carried out in a house of worship. We must tell the truth about that hatred, grieve what it stole, and remain committed to dismantling the violence of racism in every form.

Colonialism is not a thinking machine, nor a body endowed with reasoning faculties . It is violence in its natural state, and it will only yield when confronted with greater violence.

I think when people say "decolonize your mind" they mean from white supremacy — and I think it actually includes deprogramming yourself from all the other stuff too (religion, patriarchy, homophobia, capitalism, etc) because those things are also white supremacy believe it or not

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

We're seeing so many examples of Black businesses. Hope you support them

Children can’t vote, but their hunger is real. Yet, once again, Gov. Brian Kemp has refused to help — vetoing funding for summer nutritional assistance. Georgia families are struggling to afford groceries, rent and health care, and this would be a lifeline. During this election season remember that your elected officials should serve you and the needs of your community. If you're in need of assistance, visit: https://t.co/7Na8k7bgNp

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

“People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.” -Assata Shakur

This chapter discusses how college-educated Black males in the workforce are essentially genocide survivors among their peers. There is so much institutional investment in preventing Black males from becoming leaders in their communities and society, generally.
