The power of love

[Beryl Kessio @beryl_kessio]

The impact this superhero of a woman has is staggering, so the decision to let her go is ludicrous and raises questions about whether student success is really a priority at HU. What is Howard's SOC without her warmth and dedication to students?

[Maya King @mayaaking]

I really want @HowardU to be more mindful of who and what it invests in. This is a direct hit to students. And it sends a message.

Personally I don’t believe this has anything to do with finances. All the people they have let go within SOC between May and now are all people who have been critical of the dean and vocal about things they didn’t agree with. #BringbackMsDudley

[Kyra E. Azore @KyraAzore]

Ms. Dudley was knee deep in planning the annual SOC Career Fair that takes place in Oct. & had been receiving the run around, she couldn’t even get a date. Seeing as she was the only one planning it, what’s the plan @HUPrez17 or will students be made to suffer #BringbackMsDudley

Just a reminder that a “nonviolent” protest isn’t a protest that’s supposed to make you feel warm & fuzzy afterwards. One of the primary points of protest is to make people uncomfortable with conditions as they exist.

Don’t conflate nonviolence & comfort.

BREAKING: Maryland lawmakers have passed a veto-proof bill that would automatically register residents to vote if they get or renew their driver’s license or state ID, or sign up for health insurance or social services.

50 years ago today, I learned the painful news that my friend, my mentor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had been assassinated in Memphis, TN. He was my brother, my leader--that day it felt like something died in all of us.

[Maya Angelou @DrMayaAngelou]

Dr. Maya Angelou's words were impactful and inspirational. On her 90th birthday, they're as powerful as ever. #StillIRise #GoogleDoodle #workingwithgoogle

[Melissa Harris-Perry @MHarrisPerry]

Four days after his assassination, Dr. King’s widow, Coretta Scott King, and his four young children go to Memphis where they march alongside the still-striking sanitation workers. 4 days!

After cancellations, delays and other mishaps trying to get some photoshoots done for work, I have come to the conclusion that a photog's job is to hurry up and wait.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Describing Betsy DeVos as incompetent misses the larger reality that her purpose is to undo the civil rights movement as far as education is concerned, just as Carson is at HUD to undo the movement in housing & Sessions is doing likewise in the justice dept

[Free Kamau Sadiki @smilectics]

Howard emails claim there isn't a #HowardHousingCrisis or shortage. if there wasn't a shortage they wouldn't have to squeeze three or four students into rooms made for two. this is a blatant lie and if they do somehow manage to house every student who wants housing next year,

[MBM ⛅️ @only_smart_one]

If I have no where to stay or have been living in dangerous conditions that I pay 45k for and you get mad because I said “fuck” you’re not listening to the real problem. You would rather I wear a suit and shake your hand as you step on my chest and then you want us to thank you
