When I was a child, #HarryBelafonte showed up for my family in very compassionate ways. In fact, he paid for the babysitter for me and my siblings. Here he is mourning with my mother at the funeral service for my father at Morehouse College. I won’t forget…Rest well, sir.

With Twitter's uncertain future, #TenureTrackHustle at Northeastern is launching the ‘Archiving Black Twitter’ project. A space to talk about Black life, Black Twitter helped shine the spotlight on #BlackLivesMatter & #OscarsSoWhite. npr.org/2023/05/26/117…
