    This is outrageous and the first time I am seeing anything about it.

    “The slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again towards slavery.”

    Breaking: Florida senate passes bill requiring those with past felony convictions to pay all restitution, fines & fees before becoming eligible to vote. This is modern day poll tax undermining historic ballot initiative that could block over 500,000 people from the ballot box

    We can’t heal the Black Butterfly and make Baltimore a city of peace and opportunity if we do not confront the choices leaders & organizations have made to build the city where we live. There must be a widespread understanding of what really happened and its ongoing impacts.

    Inspiring to be at the Summit for Civil Rights at Rutgers with woke folk continuing the work!

    This is interesting though not surprising, a new study shows the serious updraft of advantaged neighborhoods, particularly for whites.

    RIP , I gasped when I saw this. He died too young, but we are so lucky he wrote Boyz N the Hood in college and audaciously insisted on directing the film and learned by doing!

    I will be buying this book, protesters illustrated the author's point. Propaganda /ideology is as damaging as the bad policies they serve.

    As some may have heard, Judge Damon J.Keith, who was a federal judge on the 6th Circuit & prior to that a district court judge, has died. Judge Keith was a civil rights icon. I clerked for Judge Keith and I learned a lot from him. I'll share a couple of those lessons here. 1/11

    "In the places where white households are moving, reinvestment is possible mainly because of the disinvestment that came before it" Yes, this is a history many don't know or don't acknowledge.

    "It's such an enactment of power to convince people that they are existing in a history-less vacuum. ... this false immediacy that doesn't ever force you to reckon with the wrongs that people have committed" Amen!

    This piece by my colleague is spot on. The oral arguments do not inspire confidence. If conservative justices ignore congressional and their own administrative law precedent in this case they are political actors with no legitimacy.

    When you understand that modern law enforcement was born of the slave patrols, so much about the way they treat black communities makes sense.

    15 y/o black boy picked up cell phone that fell out of the pocket of a black boy who was being arrested officers slammed his head on the concrete, pepper sprayed, brutally beat & arrested him This is not law enforcement This is brutality

    This bill is straight out of the Jim Crow playbook. It’s a racist attempt to suppress Black and Brown votes. Immoral policies like this are why we have fewer voting rights than 50 years ago.

    Watch this and tell me 1) There’s no such thing as a school-to-prison pipeline. 2) This 11-YEAR-OLD child will ever feel safe or valued at school again. He’s been told what kids like him mean to the school as has every child who witnessed this.

    Sheriff Kan Mascara of Ft Pierce, FL says the school resource deputy, who lifted an 11 yr old Black student in the air and body-slammed him on a sidewalk, did not use excessive force. Of course they are referencing alleged former behavior to justify obvious police brutality.

    Hope! Amazing what can happen when you change the lens from deficit to asset and give kids and families the support they actually need to succeed. They succeed. LeBron is a superhero but every school district could do this, the last shall be first.

    Delighted to interview Justice Breyer for an ⁦⁦⁩ alumni event. He says he never looks back, there is always the next case, another chance to convince his colleagues that he is right. He remains optimistic and says we all have to practice civil disagreement.

    This is a disgrace, very common and shows one of the reasons why we can spend a lot of money on programs to help low-income people but see little results. But folks are worried about poor people getting a handout.

    New York State gerrymandered a map to qualify Hudson Yards for $1.6 billion in financing meant for low-income areas—by threading it to public housing in Harlem. ( obtained the map info through FOIA.)

    You fix it by putting as much effort in dismantling the systems as you did in creating them.

    Thanks to and for introducing legislation to target federal funds to persistently poor places! This bill deserves bipartisan support.
