I will teach Black History at New College for free this fall if I have to do it in the parking lot. If they come, I will teach.

One year later…#Buffalo. 10 human beings, several of them elders in the Black community. 🖤 Gunned down by a White man so enraged by lies about what he’s “losing,” so indoctrinated to an ideology of White Supremacy. A vessel for violence who never should have been armed.

9/90 1860s legislative acts didn’t just abolish slavery, they gave Blacks in the South a chance to earn a living & own land, toiling on familiar land as Bernice Bennett depicts in unfamiliar fashion: as owners risking their lives for the American promise of freedom. #MAAHStoneAtoZ

Congratulations Bernice Bennett!!
