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?

Prof. @JeanneTheoharis is the author of The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks. CUNY better listen to her.
Please amplify: CUNY faculty are protesting @ChancellorCUNY’s decision to call the cops on our students and demand the charges be dropped.

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 share this sense of respect and awe at what students are creating right now at Columbia.
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…

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!
