Not trying to alarm, y’all. We aren’t throwing our hands up screaming “help.” We are no where near ever giving up. Just saying, we can’t do it without you. And with less than 3% of businesses in Philly being owned by Blk women. Far less than that making it to the 5 year mark. We ask that you stop by Harriett’s today between 12-6 pm or online at https://t.co/8Ga2jcKTM2 to keep the magic of what we’ve built together as a community alive.

my rule: any student who comes to my office hours can keep any book on my shelf that they like. all they need do is ask. i had a prof who used to do this back in college & ive always remembered how special it made the student-teacher relationship. lets continue this tradition.

"All year I was critiqued about who I was. I'm too hood, I'm too ghetto, y'all told me that all year. When other people do it, y'all don't say nothing. This was for the people that look like me."

Really sad, devastating news. A water pipe burst on Friday and ruined a LOT of books at Third World Press, the country's oldest Black-owned publishing company.

They've launched a flood fund to get back on their feet. Please consider donating.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

My father’s “dream” wasn’t palpable to the white masses, including politicians.

He challenged militarism and sought to eradicate it.

He worked to end poverty, as caused by extreme capitalism and materialism.

We need to know the authentic King…The Inconvenient King.

Great question, when you hone in on something you want to learn about, read multiple scholars on it. Try to figure out what you believe and not Walmart the author does. Reading is a foundation, not the entire journey
