For over 10 days now, around half the residents of Jackson, Mississippi have not had running water.
And nobody is talking about it on a national scale.
I am begging the national media to please pay attention. There is a crisis happening in Jackson.
I’ve noticed that strong teachers don’t just have high expectations for their students; they have high expectations for themselves. I think that’s one of their secrets.
Uncritical learning about Ancient Greek and Roman traditions not only affects "Classics" classes. It informs a Eurocentric, whitewashed curricula across all subjects—and erases critical contributions of many communities. https://t.co/ehISb9WaIV
@ShanaVWhite I saw ONE woman agree with him...and the men mostly have “education advocate” or a similar phrase in their bios, which means THEY aren’t in the classroom, either. Please sit this one out, sirs....🙄
Today I carried out my duty to certify the November 3rd election, and as required by state and federal law, I’ve signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

If you teach Black kids, it is your responsibility to spark conversations with them (and your colleagues) about race. If you don’t teach Black kids, it is your responsibility to spark conversations with your students (and your colleagues) about race. Discomfort is no excuse.
On the phone with my mother, and to hear her say, broken-voiced, at 75, how much she admires the courage of the young people protesting...I’m just proud to have come from her. To be made of her.
The protest continues on the East Side. The group stopped near Brady and Farwell where someone on a megaphone asked everyone to say hello to the person standing next to them.
@DaveofCO @ShaneGoldmacher@RevFisk Curious, these things didn't seem to happen under the last Democratic presidents...or the last two Republican presidents.
