Grateful for the opportunity to write about one of my favorite topics—the palm tree family—and its black environmental histories in Colombia, Brazil, & Ecuador. Thanks for the space & care @BlkPerspectives! I’m so thankful to Manoel Rendeiro Neto for the Portuguese translation.
@BlkPerspectives, @RogueChieftan writes about the Black environmental histories of palms in the Americas.
"The colonial thirst for gold brought many enslaved Africans to the region. However, the biogeography of palms explains internal Black migration."

Excited to be able to share my latest paper w/ @brainilliams in the Annals of the AAG, unpacking the history of Starkville, Mississippi's Cotton District, which (somewhat dubiously) claims the mantle of the first ever new urbanist development

The beauty and wonder that Wayne Shorter left on this Earth is breathtaking. Ride free, Mr. Weird

Wayne Shorter, my best friend, left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future. He was ready for his rebirth. As it is with every human being, he is irreplaceable . . .
