Mayra Santos-Febres presenting on the popular concept of “mejorar la raza”/“raza cósmica” as forced integration racism. ❤️ #LSA22ND #truthtelling

Looking forward to reading Tentacle by @ritaindiana after a fantastic panel at #LSA22ND today.

“Mis testimonios, my counter-narratives, ARE data and ARE curriculum.” Thanks, Erica R. Davila for a phenomenal presentation on la lucha Afro-Boricua in Chicago. #LSA22ND

Loving the frequent mention of third spaces as places of learning, organizing, and community building as essential parts of academic scholarship at the #LSA22ND conference.

My heart is overflowing at the thought of our work following and honoring the work of our abuelas, constantly nurturing what we want to see grow in our world. Thank you, Rafael Pérez-Torres. #LSA22ND

UGH. Must-read thread.

Yesterday, I did something very dangerous as a doctor and trainee — I stood up for my patients. Not just that, I stood up to those who have power over me, and my career. 1/10

Thanks to the brilliant writer Ogorchukwuu for this reminder as we get closer to heading back to school.

“The hard truth is, racial equity cannot be achieved with an obsessive commitment to “meeting people where they are” when “where they are” is fraught with racial bias and privilege.” - Paul Gorski | Equity Literacy Institute #EquityDetour

You say, "When you know better, you do better." But the knowing & doing must be active. The doing is not a magical outcome of knowing. Orgs are full of racism people w/ power KNOW exists & CHOOSE not to abolish. That's an institutional injustice problem, not a knowledge problem.

Without applying an abolitionist mindset to decolonial heritage efforts we continue to empower these institutions to continue to control and police cultural heritage, using and abusing those they can manipulate to uphold their efforts. #findingceremony

The news about the College Board pandering to racism with the removal of material from the African American studies curriculum is outrageous, deeply disappointing, and not surprising. Black youth deserve to learn about themselves in identity-affirming ways.

Racial equity is not just "giving individual students what they need to succeed." Part of what students need is to not experience racism at school. That requires institutional antiracism, not just individual differentiating.

Baltimore spends more than any other city on policing. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t keep our kids safe. If any leaders of our city are actually interested in protecting our kids, it’s going to require changing the socioeconomic conditions in which they live.
