I’m so honored to share my research on the brilliant Mrs. Ada Wright with @BlkPerspectives

[Black Perspectives @BlkPerspectives]

The Communist Party of the United States' "decision to recruit Ada Wright—the mother of Scottsboro defendants, Andy and Roy Wright— to embark on a European speaking tour, was perhaps one of the most significant strategies it utilized," writes @aevers0n

You learn to ask good research questions by reading deeply and slowly. Print out the PDFs and take handwritten notes in the margins. Go for a walk without a device. Think. Talk with a person. Keep a pen and paper on you.

Your grandmother says you read a lot. Every chance you get. That’s good, but not good enough. Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with shades of deeper reasoning.
