I am SO pleased to share my new book with @JosephEntin, a labor of love. Beginning the 1st pandemic summer, thanks to SSRC & @alondra, 18 @BklynCollege411 students wrote incredible autoethnographies charting the ways inequality was playing out for their families & communities.

Faculty at @BklynCollege411 call in @ChancellorCUNY to drop the charges on the students arrested at the Gaza encampment. Why are our students facing felonies while charges dropped for NYU and many Columbia students?

I feel like I'm losing my mind a little: people understand that "occupying buildings on campus" is, like, one of the most common forms of studen protest for decades and not some devious new ploy devised by professional anarchist plotters, right?
I wholly support this statement from my colleagues.
ALT A Declaration by the American Association of University Professors
Of Barnard and Columbia
Following the Mass Emergency Meeting of the Faculty Held on Friday, April 19, 2024
We condemn in the strongest possible terms the Administration’s suspension of students engaged in peaceful protest and their arrest by the New York City Police Department.
These acts violate the letter and the spirit of the University Statutes, shared governance, students’ rights, and the University’s absolute obligation to defend students’ freedom of speech
& to ensure their safety.
We demand that all Barnard College and Columbia University suspensions and charges be dismissed immediately & expunged from the students’ records, and that all rights and
privileges be restored to them immediately.
Last, we demand that no disciplinary action be taken against any student protesters without due process, and that no police be permitted on campus without serious consultation with the
Executive Comm of the University Senate

As night falls and waking up at 5 AM, flying to New York and 8 hours of street reporting non-stop catches up with me, I am about to leave this party and let these young ppl who welcomed me into their space carry on. But first, some final thoughts…

This week on the blog, scholars from the New York City Civil Rights History Project at Columbia University highlight the project's source material, which range of from the 1890s to the present day. Read about some of the unique photos and ephemera here! gothamcenter.org/blog/joyful…
Stepping back in to this mess to ask if any #brooklyn#historians have a copy of a restrictive covenant/deed restriction from the borough, excluding Black and/or Jewish buyers. Extra appreciation if it's from Coney Island. @DominiqueJL15@Bri_P_History@JulieThePH Thx!
