One of my favorite African American scholars is Lorenzo Dow Turner. He is best known for his groundbreaking research on the Gullah language of the Low Country in coastal South Carolina and Georgia, but his work also extended to Brazil and West Africa, where he traced the deep linguistic continuities across the Black Atlantic. This photo was taken when a 27-year-old Turner received his masterβs degree in English from Harvard University in 1917. He appears in a sharply tailored dark three-piece suit, with broad lapels, a crisp high-collared white shirt, and a patterned tie secured neatly at the neck. https://t.co/g0g2HvdNW1

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
