Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book, “The Message,” is a trio of interconnected essays that examine how the stories people tell — or avoid telling — can shape and even distort reality: “I am most concerned always with those that don’t have a voice.” cbsn.ws/4gJxe2g

We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father Tito Jackson @titojackson5 was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being. Please remember to do what our father always preached, “Love One Another.” We love you Pops and will forever miss you.
Every part of this!
When white people are hired in any position, the automatic assumption is they were the best person. When Black people are hired, it’s assumed we got there because of affirmative action — which by the way doesn’t mean under-qualified. If affirmative action never existed, a lot of white people would still believe deeply in their own superiority because that is what they’ve been taught.
Considering there have been 30 presidents at Harvard and Claudine Gay was the only Black one in history, she had to be extremely qualified to even be in that position.
But don’t let me interfere with your racism. Go off.

There are moments when I wonder if what I am doing matters especially when navigating institutional bureaucracy. Then there are days like yesterday when I wake up to a voice memo text message that just warmed my heart from one of my alums.

Followed by a mother of one of my scholars calling me saying, “Mr. Hunt, I know you are the only one who can help...” And then I read a text from one of my scholars that simply says, “I appreciate you”

Thank you, @MorePerfectUS, for letting me share my side of the story. I hope people realize that there is a lot that goes behind the scene when getting your cup of coffee. I’m sorry to any past employee that never got to tell their story. Everyone deserves to feel heard! 💗💗💗

Man, I am NOT cut out for LA. This girl at a party said “I’m a sub” and I said “oh that’s cool did you always wanna work with kids?” and she looked at me HORRIFIED.
I THOUGHT SHE MEANT TEACHER.
LIKE A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER.
THAT’S NOT WHAT SHE MEANT.
as director, this is my favorite time of year: 1. calling to welcome new scholars into our program 2. receiving news of grad school acceptances from our graduating senior scholars. #grateful #TrioProud #TrioWorks @UMBCMcNair @UMBC #UMBC #umbcmcnair #highered #highereducation

To a lot of Americans, war is abstract, unfathomable. You've never seen a city in pieces. You've never feared war planes overhead. It's so surreal that perhaps you reach for a joke out of discomfort. If this is you, don't.
