What better way to teach about #BrownvBoard and deseg than by using the voices of students? Dr. Millicent Brown, one of the first to desegregate schools in SC, has compiled the voices of those who were the first to enter all-white schools. Check it out! https://t.co/XzVw5S8IUG

1/ Students across the country are in the process of choosing where to go to college.

For many, that decision is tied to a school’s financial aid offer, which often has confusing jargon. So here’s a thread to help navigate the process.

#BlackHistoryMonth idea: When white folks see a school as a "black school," why not correct them to say it is a "historically neglected, legally segregated school that whites refuse to attend for largely racist reasons"? Too much? Lets discuss race as we discuss school reform.

If you are an educator defending racism... Honestly, I don’t even know how to complete this sentence.

Only known surviving slave narrative written in Arabic in the US is now available for all to see. The story belongs to Omar Ibn Said, a man who was captured in West Africa and brought to the US as a slave in 1831. Via @TheNationalUAE https://t.co/OrF8vs8YVe @africasacountry

Some days all I can think about is how to incorporate the world around me into lessons! Today: Analyzing "Mulan" and considering representations of Chinese culture in media + historical accuracy of setting. So many deep questions and a powerful woman of color as well!

[Candace Carter @candace_carter4]

@ZyahnaB You inspire me from afar with your tweets and help me reflect on how I work towards justice and equity as a teacher. You make an impact on me, and my students by extension, and that isn't short-lived. Girl you're already doing it!

Why can't ed. research get to the classroom?

“It was fascinating to hear the teachers and admins say, 'Someone should research this,' and the [researchers] are biting their tongues saying, 'We spend $50 million researching that! We have that answer!'" https://t.co/mQqkHq5Efq

1 in 6 families in cville live w/ food insecurities.

For my 18th birthday, I collected over 1800 items to donate to my school’s snack closet, which is pretty much a food bank for students who don’t have food.

Shoutout to the community for helping make this happen!

This week in academia.1) My planning history students didn't recognize or know who James Baldwin was. 2) All the scholarly literature on a historic Black community I am working w/ is about disease &crime. No history or architecture. These are places, not just labs. Geesh.

Many of the winning candidates of the midterm elections are women of color. They include the first two Native American women, and the first two Muslim women, to be elected to Congress: https://t.co/UjbXz6tJ3t

This is so weird:

So y’all just out here making documentary after documentary about #Charlottesville, including scenes of survivors (and not telling them), and then inviting them to the big ole’ screening without any form of a trigger warning?

#Vote and keep dreaming.
Listen to Langston Hughes read his poem 'Dreams'.

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow...
