In 1776, my enslaved ancestors were considered chattel/property. They were denied land ownership, while America's economy was built on their backs; denied the right to vote, therefore were not recognized as citizens. So, whose #independence & whose #freedom are we celebrating?

If this was about babies, there would be universal healthcare. Free education. Free daycare. Southern states would be doing all they can to drop the Black maternal mortality rate. This is about power and control

Judge Jackson is the right person for the job. Period! Racism and sexism will not stop her.
You’re not allowed to quote Martin Luther King Jr. this weekend if you don’t plan on securing voting rights. Just don’t.

Educators...You CANNOT strategize your way into cultural relevance. You must do the real work of getting to KNOW as many aspects of your students' identities as possible so you'll know what IS relevant to them. Authentic cultural relevance REQUIRES deep relationships.
