@BBCMBuchanan Relevant to your story, I’d like to suggest that the one developing on the return of the Sussexes to the UK could prove even more important. Responsible for the PBS Frontline website re. Queen Charlotte on which BRIDGERTON is based, my email address is [email protected].
@TheStudyofWar A BLACK JESUS CHRIST & THE SECOND COMING IN UKRAINE (Arts/Humanities vs Military Industrial Complex possibility along the lines of Pope Francis' perspective on Russia's important cultural/spiritual contribution to the world.) https://t.co/Qz3X4RCdxr
Internationally celebrated for his '78 #HARVARD Graduation address, A WORLD SPLIT APART, a symposium on the subject by America Magazine would at least offer an off-ramp breather & undoubtedly help end the conflict in Ukraine.
@JamesMartinSJ Has everyone forgotten that two #Russian#NobelPrize winners in Literature, Joseph Brodsky and Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the famous Soviet dissident, were both hostile to #Ukraine's independence, the latter a supporter of #Putin until his death in 2008?

@ElBeardsley DERUSSIFICATION = DEPUSHKINIZATION = DENIGGERIZATION
Outrageous racism intolerable not only to Black & #POC in the US & UK but, even more importantly, to those in #BRICS & the #GlobalSouth, too.
For the love of God, Ukraine, WOKE UP!
@cheechandchong Unrealized '85 CBC TV drama project on HENRY BIBB & MARY ANN SHADD, two of the earliest Black newspaper publishers in North America. In Canada, their irreconcilable differences became a bitter disappointment - to Queen Victoria, as well! https://t.co/QeqpiKw8w4
Feminist academics have long considered this violent & explosive medieval narrative as the first political high stakes "ME TOO" moment in European history.
@antoniacere The catastrophically disastrous affair of the son of an ennobled slave and his Queen. Rejected by the BBC during their "hideously white" time of it, this tragedy eventually became the historical source for HBO's #GameOfThrones.
Accepted for development by American Zoetrope but abandoned in 1982 when Francis Ford Coppola went belly up with "One From the Heart." Elizabeth Taylor had agreed to play the Black count's mother who was reputed to have been the most beautiful woman of her time.
And Georgia, the epicenter of the national controversy over voting rights! At the intersection of Institutional racism and cultural Marxism, have we gone stark raving mad?
@shondarhimes Media embargo on Rev. JOHN R. COTTING b. 1784 ACTON, MA, #Harvard's 1st Black student 1797, #DARTMOUTH 1802, 1st graduate of a US college, father of DAVID G. COTTING, #GEORGIA'S BLACK SECRETARY OF STATE, 1868-73, WHY? https://t.co/zZOlD6YSmw
David Cotting's formerly Confederate son-in-law, Capt. Joseph Burke, organized the famous reconciliatory PEACE MISSION of the Atlanta Gate City Guard that toured Boston, New York, and other cities of the Northeast in 1879.
