"The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them." -Ida B. Wells. Today was overwhelming and powerful for me at the African American History & Culture Museum. My work as a history teacher & anti-racist is unending. To my students, this is how I spend my day off.

A Texas judge has ordered the InfoWars founder Alex Jones to pay $100,000 in legal fees in a defamation case brought against him by the father of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim https://t.co/o8Sa1BdxgB

Were I king for a day, aka a Hollywood producer... I would try to greenlight this project...Octavia Butler's magnum opus Parable of the Sower as a mini series adapted by @DamonLindeIof and the @watchmen team, directed by @ava and starring @Zendaya. Boom. @HBO, you're welcome.

[Kyle I. Morean @mistermorean]

Just soared through Octavia Butler's masterpiece Parable of the Sower. What beautiful paradox. Such dreadful yet hopeful dystopian imaginings. Quite the message for right now! The wisdom of embracing change and cultivating community to survive. 'All that you change, changes you'

@Mr_Lee_History What a boss. When can she run for POTUS?

[Kyle I. Morean @mistermorean]

So proud to uplift these student leaders and their thoughtful voices.

[Ballard HS STAR Club @bhsstarclub]

STAR Officers led a panel discussion at today’s Staff Meeting, in response to teacher Qs about race & equity @ BHS. A veteran teacher told them afterward it was the best staff meeting she’d ever attended. Thx to @theheadbeaver for creating space for this discussion. #StudentVoice

Here is history. I watched two Black Ole Miss students carry the bullet-riddled Emmett Till memorial through campus and place it at the base of a confederate monument on campus.

Three white Ole Miss students shot at the Till memorial last year and posed beside it in pictures.

What a fun #makerspace Friday for our new 9th graders who made their own interpretative Ballard migration maps. Thanks @lindi_wood and @BeaverReaders for creating such a dynamic and inviting classroom space in the library. #IIC

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

@Mr_Lee_History @theheadbeaver @BeaverReaders @Catlin_Tucker @spsinsttech @MsRobyn_BHS @MsJLogsdon @kaireisci @MrFurmanBHS @insocialstudies It's outstanding...couldn't be a better resource for what we are looking to do to improve USH.

[Kyle I. Morean @mistermorean]

@MsJLogsdon @BeaverReaders @Catlin_Tucker @spsinsttech @theheadbeaver I will co-sign on Schoology Updates and Remind Texts as well. Both of these are shorter form tools that aided my frequency of communication w parents (opp to long email updates) and prompted more ready replies. #IICSummerChat

[Kyle I. Morean @mistermorean]

@theheadbeaver @BeaverReaders @spsinsttech Yes. I foresee some awkward reckoning for our Ss is that they've never considered nor had to consider that "whiteness has meaning." I am so glad that 'Seeing White' is one of our resources. This will challenge me to incorporate it further into our USH curriculum.
