Langston Hughes was the first black literary writer I’d ever been assigned. It was high school, and his very short poem, “A Dream Deferred,” but it made me realize something was out there that I didn’t know. I checked out several of his short story books. I was transformed.https://twitter.com/smithsonianmag/status/1223622410018131968 …

Nigeria has the largest Black population in the world. And Nigerian immigrants are the most educated immigrant group in this country. But no amount of education or “assimilation” can counter immigration policy rooted solely in anti-Blackness & Islamophobiahttps://theweek.com/speedreads/893123/nigerians-are-americas-best-educated-immigrant-groups-trump-just-banned …

I’m just now getting to this, but this was damn good. What I’ve loved about the debate around the
#1619Project is how it is bringing to the public a greater understanding of how history/historiography works, and that there’s never been such a thing as “objective” history. https://twitter.com/thetattooedprof/status/1222644702287056896 …pic.twitter.com/2zfFPvtQDR
