In 1961, I was hired as the FIRST Black female reporter for The Washington Post. This month, you'll learn about many #BlackHistory firsts. I encourage you to use our stories to fuel your ambitions. There are many FIRSTS yet to be had and I'm excited for YOU to join the club.

For kids with incarcerated parents, maintaining a relationship with the parent in prison is challenging - for reasons largely beyond their control. Journalist @Ms_SAH experienced these challenges firsthand - hear from her in our episode “Separated.” kite.link/rh9lPne

Check out @KatherineLewis's important piece assessing equity-oriented teacher training in US schools. #equity #justice #education Schools spend billions on training so every student can succeed. They don’t know if it works usatoday.com/story/news/educ… via @usatoday

​​Schools spend billions on training so every student can succeed. They don’t know if it works

Few districts measure whether training intended to help urban educators narrow the gap between Black and white students’ performance actually works.

This is one of the most powerful, and intimate conversations I’ve heard by two wise and talented journalists. Thank you for challenging us to ask the question: “Who do we write for?” And thank you for sharing from yourselves, a generous gift to a new generation of journalists.

A #thread. For me, it doesn’t matter what kind of "criminal record" Jordan Neely had, it doesn’t matter if he "yelled," or if he "threw garbage at commuters." What matters is he was executed. What matters is the person responsible for his murder wasn’t detained...

Kalief Browder was jailed for years for allegedly stealing a backpack. Just as easily as our criminal legal system locks up Black people for broken windows offenses, we need to see swift action against the perpetrator of a public lynching.

The city medical examiner has ruled that Neely’s death was a #homicide. He died of compression to the neck. We already knew this. We are #furious. We are #hurt. We are #exhausted. We are not disposable. We demand #justice for Jordan Neely. #equity #JordanNeely
