Schools in church basements would overtime develop into HBCUs such as @SpelmanCollege, @Morehouse, @Fisk1866 and @TuskegeeUniv. These institutions understood themselves to be doing the work of God, educating future leaders such as ministers and teachers. #BlackChurchPBS

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:
