Today was so special!!! Loved be apart of the dedication ceremony for Ms. Walters.
“Rita Walters’ life and legacy is an inspiration, from her work fighting for racial integration in our schools as a member of the LAUSD Board of Education to her efforts to steward LAPL’s expansion on the L.A. City Council and the Library Commission.” @MayorOfLA

"There are simply not enough of us in the newsroom to object effectively — not in TV, print or online, certainly not in management. So our only option is to mimic the protester’s strategy: Talk directly to the public and just talk loud." @soledadobrien

I am so honored and humbled to receive the W. E. B. Du Bois Medal, @Harvard's highest honor in the field of African and African American studies. This award isn't bestowed upon me alone. It honors the power and importance of history, its challenges, and what we learn from it.

Today marks 100 years since Congress passed the #19thAmendment giving (some but not all) women the right to vote 🗳️ in the US. Women of color still faced many barriers to exercise their right to vote, and even today the fight for gender equality and voting rights carries on.
