#ThisDay 1954 the SCOTUS ruled on Brown V Board of Ed.
Brown combined 5 separate cases. The largest originated with the student walkout organized by Barbara Johns in Farmville, VA. Here's our @encyclopediaVA entry on the Moton School strike. https://t.co/vFvigcHGIs @MotonMuseum
You cannot disentangle the colonization experienced by indigenous ppl from the racism experienced by black ppl from the xenophobia experienced by latinx ppl from the imperialism experienced by palestinians.
They’re all different extensions of the same oppressive project.
Today, the anniversary of the #BrownvBoard decision, I'm remembering my family's recent visit to @MotonMuseum in Farmville, VA, where #BarbaraJohns led a student walkout in 1951, the only student-led case folded in to #Brown. Thanks to the staff for helping keep this story alive!
There is one person on death row in New Hampshire. That single case cost taxpayers $5.5 million. @GovChrisSununu should sign #SB593, abolish the death penalty, and work to reallocate funds to programs that actually help law enforcement and crime victims. #NHRepealDP

Remembering #CivilRights activist #ViolaLiuzzo, born on this day in 1925, shot down between #Selma and #Montgomery, #Alabama on March 25, 1965 at the age of 39. Her memory lives on in the continuing struggle for justice.

Yasser Murtaja, Palestinian photojournalist, was murdered in Gaza today by the Israeli military with a sniper's bullet to the chest. Images from today are too graphic. Remember him as he was; a person who loved life.
