Brown v. Board of Education advanced racial equity and expanded access to educational settings from which Black students had long been excluded. This landmark case should not be weaponized to dismantle programs that further educational access for students of color.

Water is a basic human right. But Black communities lack equal access to plumbing and clean water and suffer disproportionately from water unaffordability. More on LDF's ongoing fight to address this environmental crisis: tminstituteldf.org/water-color-20… #BlackHistoryMonth

It's time to stop dumping thankless tasks on women. Women get more asks than men to serve on committees, plan events, and take notes. They're more likely to be penalized if they say no—and taken for granted if they say yes. Work should be divided equitably by role, not gender.

Thanks to an HBCU Votes Grant, given to the office of Student Affairs, who then partnered with GSU NAACP, they were able to place six voting centers around campus. The centers are at Grambling Hall, Carver Hall, the Student Union, the Cafe, the Tiger Express, & Long Jones Hall.
