I am married to an amazing woman. Both of us are professors at Michigan State university. Woke. Long time fighter for diversity. And apparently I like editing journals and conducting what I hope is creative research. No DMs unless I know you

NYC opened a pop up The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room displaying 3.5 million pages of released and partially redacted Epstein files, printed into 3,437 bound volumes. Thank you artists 🏆

This is America in one frame. And the most American person in this photograph isn’t covering her face. She represents a nation still haunted by the hatred it has never fully confronted, while carried forward by steadfast courage. The nation’s unfinished struggle is captured in a single moment.

America is celebrating 250 years today.
This photograph may be one of the most honest representations of who we have been, and who we still are, as a country.
A Black woman sits on a Washington, D.C., Metro train while masked members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front ride to a march through the nation's capital. As the country celebrates its founding, this is one of the images that defines this moment in America.

Thank you President Obama. 🙏 I appreciate your honesty, intelligence, dignity, integrity, humility & humor. 👍 Looking forward to the opening of your Presidential Center this week! 👀 Wishing you & your family all the best & continued success, Mar🐫

This is John Lewis being beaten by Alabama State troopers on Bloody Sunday. The Supreme Court spat on him, the members of SCCC, SCLC, and CORE in their recent opinion. The 6 judges in the majority represent the ignorance surrounding US history

Today is the anniversary of Bloody Sunday when Alabama state troopers attacked peaceful protesters starting a voting rights match to Montgomery. I always honor John Lewis. Today I am thinking of Jimmie Lee Jackson who was killed during a peaceful protest a couple of weeks prior to Bloody Sunday.

Malcolm X is thought of as a person who was involved in violence against white people. But there is not a single instance where he engaged in violence. But we know of two instances where he stopped violent protest. Get it correct, he preached the right of self-defense. He spoke truth to power

Love Green Day and was thrilled when they started Holiday. But I wish the 2nd half of the song had been included. “Oh I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives”
