Big day for white supremacists and all other folks who fetishize taking an L.

School that relies heavily on alumni donations is losing $$$ after deciding to keep “Lee” in its name.

WEB DuBois, as usual, nails it. “Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
That’s why the statues must go.

You love to see it.

(3) What I love most about @nhannahjones’s decision is that she didn’t just free herself from being entrapped in a toxic, outdated institution, she decided to draw from what she knows about our history and CREATE something new that will move us all forward via great journalism.

[Saeed Jones @theferocity]

(2) Institutions are adept at making us feel like we couldn’t professionally survive without them. We start to believe it and doubt our potential to thrive independently. When in doubt about our potential, let’s remember the GIANT neon exit sign @nhannahjones made for us.

[Saeed Jones @theferocity]

Gratitude to @nhannahjones b/c her decision has sparked conversations about (1) what it feels like to get lost inside institutions that begrudge us EVEN AS they use us and our work to launder their reputations. Many institutions would rather spite themselves than even do that.

It’s almost like the basic history of slavery still needs to be taught in schools

For some Americans, history isn’t the story of what actually happened; it’s the story they want to believe. @ClintSmithIII on why Confederate lies live on: https://t.co/O0qkzbCMXF

Unfortunately, my alma mater, Washington and Lee University, has again missed an opportunity. And by clearly and overwhelmingly missing that opportunity, it has made matters worse.
