Still processing what it means to be awarded an @NEHgov Medal. I do know this: I want to use this platform to invigorate the humanities because they are under attack in this country and it is essential that this be part of our education system. richard-blanco.com/poet-richard-b…
The gaze, human or animal, is a powerful thing. When we look at something, we decide to fill our entire existence, however briefly, with that very thing.
Dr. King showed how we can shape the future: Call out injustice and work toward something better. As basic voting rights are under attack & people are targeted in senseless hate crimes, let us use our moral authority to stand up for what’s right. #MLKDay gov.ca.gov/2023/01/15/gov…
