I recommend teaching people how to talk about race at work. "when I hear 'no politics,' I hear coded language for, 'no talking about racism,' because it’s conversations about race that have inspired the fear that underwrites the implementation of a no politics policy."

Today, you may not think twice about the full-on Sunday meals available at gas station in the South But during Jim Crow, food was the primary moneymaker for Black-owned gas stations across the country — and critical to Black survival on the road eater.com/22442991/black-own…

The Legacy of Food at Southern Gas Stations Is Rooted in Black Survival

Before Black motorists could freely travel across the American South, Black-owned gas stations offering food and respite acted as safe harbors

"Silencing conversations related to inequity protects the status quo, and the status quo at every workplace, no matter the demographics or intentions, is whiteness, white culture, white supremacy." @mimifoxm had time today fastcompany.com/90664604/cho…

Choosing to be a 'nonpolitical' company means choosing to be anti-Black

Mimi Fox Melton, CEO of Code2040, explains why the nonprofit will no longer partner with companies that have decided to “opt out” of politics.

I am so proud of @mimifoxm and the team over @Code2040. These are choices between money and the experience Black folks in the program will have. I’m so glad those choices continue to be no-brainers for them. That thriving free Black life is a bare minimum requirement of the work.

#MikeBrown was a loving son. He loved rap music and he was a human being. Today, we remember him and continue the fight for accountability for the many young Black people who are murdered by police every year. #JusticeForMichaelBown

As more Indigenous folks are making their own content, they are not only able to connect with one another but educate the world about their history, knowledge, and experiences (a thread).

The economic contribution of Latinos is a tremendous engine of economic growth within the United States. The Latino GDP would be the eighth largest in the world if it were an independent country. #TogetherWeShine

I stand with Simone Biles. I still stand with Naomi Osaka. Your health and peace matters. You’re reminding Black women that we can take the space we need for ourselves.

Sharing these color photos to remind us that the Civil Rights Movement was not that long ago, that Jim Crow laws still resonate, and that the struggle for equity and racial justice continues.

Emmett Till would’ve turned 80 years old today. He could’ve turned 80 years old today. He should’ve had the chance to turn 80 years old today. The racism and white supremacy that killed him still lives on in America.
