Interesting how all of these folks who "don't see color" also don't see how color affects/affected access to real estate, business loans, education, jobs, healthcare, voting rights, and more based on race. They only "see color" when someone tries to get on an elevator with them.

In 1825, Black residents and the AME Zion Church bought land in Manhattan and began to build the community that would become known as Seneca Village. Despite New York's passage of emancipation laws, African Americans were still treated as second-class citizens.

I LOVED the play & am sure my great-grandmother #IdaBWells is smiling on all who made this production possible. It captures the different ideas & personalities, power struggles, & reality of racism. Everyone should see & learn. It deserves every award!

Young people are constantly told they can "change the world" but...remember, 1. Only in ways that do not cause disruption 2. Only in language that keeps people comfortable 3. Only at times that are convenient 4. Only while dressed in ways that are "respectable"

Had a great time talking with the National Council for Education History about the life & legacy of my great-grandmother #IdaBWells. It's wonderful that students will learn more & be inspired by her. Hopefully they will study her strategies & use their talents to impact change.

The United States' logic: Let's ban Tik Tok and books because they're dangerous. Let's made guns more accessible because guns don't kill.

It's been 25 years since the massacre at Columbine High School—one of the deadliest school shootings in our nation's history. A quarter century later, gun violence is now the #1 killer of kids in America. When will enough be enough for Republicans to help us fix this crisis?

So sad that this captures the truth about the realities of the writing life. People glamorize it much more than is deserved.

Over the past 20+ years I have done a lot of work to uplift the life & legacy of my great-grandmother #IdaBWells. It's an honor that people like @HillaryClinton, @nhannahjones, & @JackieWoodson are inspired by her and are using their platforms to take things next level.

Quinn Chapel AME Church is where my great-grandfather Ferdinand L. Barnett had his newspaper office for the Conservator (Chicago's first Black-owned newspaper) and where his wife, my great-grandmother #IdaBWells among many others gave significant speeches.

Been thinking a lot about how my explaining to a group of white women the trauma & challenges Black women have faced due to racism turned into me comforting them.

I have worked hard over the past 20+ years to lay the groundwork to uplift the life & legacy of my great-grandmother #IdaBWells. Now there are many experts about her who have more name recognition than me. They will take things to different heights. My job is done.

Osbourne Celestain and his friend Eyakem are on a mission to highlight 13 historically Black towns in Oklahoma. They'll embark on the challenging journey of biking 600+ MILES in a week to encourage others to visit these communities. 👏🏿 These Black towns deserve our support!
