To understand Peoples Temple is to understand enslaved Africans who jumped ship is to understand 300 women in Congo drowning themselves is to understand how November 18, 1978 could happen again today. Re-membering the lives lived and lost in #Jonestown. kentuckypress.com/9780813183626/…

I love this: “saying no saves you time in the future. Saying yes costs you time in the future. No is a form of time credit. You retain the ability to spend your future time however you want. Yes is a form of time debt. You have to pay back your commitment at some point.”

Here's a poem from What We've Become using a poetic form called the kwansaba; poetic form invented by Eugene B. Redmond in 1995 inspired by the 7 day #Kwanzaa holiday. It's a praise poem that consists of 7 lines, 7 words per line, and no word in the poem exceeds 7 letters.
