1/2 I ‘ve spent my professional life protesting all forms of hate. I also spent my college days walking past this memorial to young people killed by state police at Jackson State protests in 1970. In 2024, I fear students will be killed by America relearning lessons of the past.
Critical thread 🧵
4) Years later, these bullet holes were still left on the buildings when I was a JSU student. I walked past them every day, a reminder of 2 students shot dead. I think about those bullets from 1970 when I think about my students at @Harvard & students across our country in 2024.
3) It is a mistake to assume that only your “side” is endangered by violence &/or over-policed protests. In 1970, James Green, wasn’t a protester, but a high school student walking thru campus. He was killed nonetheless. Bystanders & “all sides” are endangered by violence.
Having led many demonstrations, I believe there is a moral math, a division of responsibility for protests. Police, protesters, counter protesters, onlookers, college administrators, members of the press, indeed all of us are responsible for LIVES not our own.
Today marks 10 years since the start of the Flint Water Crisis. A decade later, kids are still sick, the city is not done replacing lead pipes and families still haven’t seen a cent from settlement funds theguardian.com/us-news/2024/a…
@CornellWBrooks @AP @NPR @thecrimson @WGBH @BostonGlobe @nytimes @clarionledger @TheLeadCNN @wolfblitzer @FWhitfield After the #OrangeburhMassacre, and to show our solidarity with The Cause, four of my teenage friends were the first Blacks to bowl at a bowling alley in our city. NONE of US has ever bowled before. Praying that cooler heads prevail. 🙏

Why invoke the sacred history of Mississippi civil rights workers to morally legitimate a hush money case about a president & an adult film star? The ahistorical appropriation is unconscionably offensive. Are the figures on the left morally comparable to those on the right?
