When one ponders “What does Hamlet, or Shakespeare in that case, have to do with Black Lives Matter and our current political moment?” one should begin by listening to Professor @respinosa1564 and watching this exceptional film of Black actors performing THE Hamlet soliloquy. 1/4https://twitter.com/respinosa1564/status/1274031549697208320 …

A version that changes the words viscerally, emotionally, sonically, as it comes from their lungs, the “to be or not to be” is no longer a plaintive, academic exercise in privledge—it is transformed urgently into past and present moments pivotal to Black lives. 2/4

It is a Hamlet that I have never seen nor experienced. It is one that does not make me recoil with confusion and anger as I have when I witness Shakespeare yoked to a moment that does not belong to him or to the scholar asking the questions. That Shakespeare? That Hamlet? No. 3/4

But this Hamlet? This Shakespeare? YES. If you, as a white scholar, are ever asked to speak about Shax and a moment that is centered on your BIPOC friends, colleagues, family, or *children*? Stop. Watch this film on YouTube. Then hand the megaphone to one of them. 4/4

Let Black Shakespeareans talk about what Shax and his work mean right now. Center their voices!
