About a year ago I added my brother as an authorized user on my credit card, and he has 748 credit score now, it’ll probably be higher when he comes home in October. There are so many different ways to support your incarcerated loved ones & make their transition back easier.

Remedial refresher: having a black friend (or more), a black spouse; sleeping with a black person, dating a black person, loving music black folks record, adopting black children—none of these “prove” you can’t be racist.

There is no good time to announce this considering the pandemic, but here goes...I’m excited to receive one of the 2020-2021 Schomburg Scholars in Residence fellowships at the New York Public Library. God willing I’ll be there next academic year getting my archive on! #Honored

As promised, I'm also happy to share good (PLAY) news today! I worked on 8 DJ mixes in grad school. They got me through manuscripts, a dissertation, and various challenges in between. And friends liked them too. TOMORROW: I share the streaming AND download link with everyone!

Pediatric Associates would welcome donations of this type of home sewn face mask. They will also share with other C-Ville offices if they receive extras.
To deliver them, pull up at one of the doors at Pediatric Associates downtown office, and someone will greet you outside.

Thomas Jefferson fathered 6 children w/ Sally Hemings. For generations, her life story has been overshadowed by Jefferson’s iconic image & the controversy surrounding "the affair." Who is Sally Hemings? What is her story? Find out on Q2: oembed.libsyn.com/embed?item… #PresidentsDay2020

@nhannahjones on the historical erasure of black folks from the “American” historical narrative. Wanted to force an acknowledgment of what slavery wrought, on its reverberations down to the present day.

@nhannahjones is here @UVA in conversation with @presjimryan. She is describing her passion for and lifelong study of African American history.

The #Charlottesville historical marker for the slave auction block was taken. Unlike the Confederate monuments in our parks, which lie to us, this plaque marked an actual historical fact about the majority of our local population.

Millennials have been fleeing New York for creative hubs in the South, where [Black long-term residents were removed] and [replaced with] good cafes and yoga studios. [When these new (majority yt) residents didn’t help organize], then came the new abortion laws. – at Georgia, USA

I hope that what happened at my alma mater today, @Morehouse transcends philanthropy and furthers the conversation about the perils of student debt, the cost of higher education, and ultimately the importance of HBCUs in our society. #TheHouse
