Award-winning Black feminist music critic Daphne A. Brooks’s new book "Liner Notes for the Revolution: The Intellectual Life of Black Feminist Sound" seeks to answer these questions.

Tune in Thurs, Sept 23, at 6PM presented by @HRC_VCU

Do we ever think of Black women musicians as intellectuals? Do we ever think of them as innovating and curating repertoires that actively engage with the complexities of Af Am history and American history more broadly? Is there such a thing as Black feminist music writing?

Join us 9/20 at 5:30: Norton's account of the long year 1774, from the Boston Tea Party in Dec 1773 to the outbreak of hostilities in April 1775, shows that the scales had been tipped in favor of independence long before Dunmore issued his proclamation.

The vast majority of Americans don’t learn about Indian boarding schools growing up, but some educators — such as @VCUEnglish professor and @HRC_VCU director @StanStanciu — are working to change that. Via @nativenews_net @jennakunze. https://t.co/E10v9oGfk2

Okay, okay, okay... we SHOULD have taken more pictures! But we had such a fun time in our tie-dye tees at the Flying Squirrels game that it was hard to remember! Thanks to everyone who joined us last Thursday!

Should we do it again? 👍
