“Rita Walters’ life and legacy is an inspiration, from her work fighting for racial integration in our schools as a member of the LAUSD Board of Education to her efforts to steward LAPL’s expansion on the L.A. City Council and the Library Commission.” @MayorOfLA

Love this, thank you @TheAutry
Working with descendants of Black historical figures like Jefferson Lewis Edmond. His great granddaughter, Arianne Edmonds (@EdmondsArianne) is ensuring that his contributions to Black L.A. are never forgotten.

It is WILD that enslaved Africans were kidnapped from all over, with catchers thinking diff languages would keep us from communicating...only for ALL of us to create AAVE...which kept them from understanding us...

"There are simply not enough of us in the newsroom to object effectively — not in TV, print or online, certainly not in management. So our only option is to mimic the protester’s strategy: Talk directly to the public and just talk loud." @soledadobrien
