For the next 6 weeks, I'm going to be in Tennessee (mainly Memphis and Nashville, with some stops in Knoxville, Chattanooga, Clarksville) reporting on how Black immigrants refugees define Blackness — in the context of very different cities towns with very different histories...

Thankful today for @npr colleagues, other international news organizations & excellent Ukrainian journalists working around the clock to bring us news of what is happening in Ukraine.
#Kyiv police say at least 5 killed, 12 injured in this morning's attacks on the capital. @NPR's team on the ground here is covering this blanket attack on #Ukraine from Dnipro, Kyiv and Lviv. Tune in to your local public radio station to hear us.

Fantastic reporting this week from @scottdetrow @lilkat_bigworld @noahgcr @npratc in Ukraine. "Like many people in Ivano-Frankivsk, she started sleeping through the air raid sirens. 'To be honest, we have a small child, so we do not get out." npr.org/2022/04/05/109110941…
