Thanks to @l_merchie for an insightful look at Black women who helped change the "white possessive logic" and reframe an understanding of "belonging" — including by building diverse coalitions to accomplish suffrage.

Holding these reflections on my art making and creation close to me today. Thinking about ART and CREATION as vessels for deep deep transformation.

@FollowerofTJ Secondly the commanding officer is on a horse. Why are the Black male soldiers walking and not afforded the opportunity to be on horse. Because policy here is inequitable and unequal.

[L'Merchie Frazier @l_merchie]

@FollowerofTJ Hello @FollowerofTJ , I will be replying to your two tweets below.

The point I was making is:
First of all, at the time, the Black community met to have the right to have Black officers. They were denied.
