It was an honor to speak about Henry Highland Garnet at the Starr Center yesterday. And it was a thrill to have the chance to view ⁦@jason_patterson⁩’s beautiful portrait of Garnet, which hangs in a place of honor in Chestertown, MD. instagram.com/p/Cx_PnemPqas/…

I moved from central Illinois to the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 2018 & still get so excited about eating Maryland crabs Nothing like eating something delicious, thats also culturally & historically significant to the place you live I also love food you have to work at to eat

Amazing that a lot of the knee-jerk response to this are that acknowledging links to the Confederacy is nit-picky Georgia’s state flag is the literal Confederate flag Arkansas‘s flag holds the Confederacy at a higher honor than the US & the design was put in place by a Klansman

Not every flag with similarities to the Confederate battle flag has a definitive historical connection to secession or slavery. But seven state flags, including Maryland’s, have documented links to the Confederacy and white supremacy. wapo.st/3Lg8AYZ

At the end of April I was the visiting artist for a week at @uarkart, hosted by their Photo and Printmaking departments. It was an honor. We started the process of a series of prints I designed that are about the Arkansas state flag’s overt white supremacists design and concept.

Montana & Tennessee today, or even back when John C Calhoun told John Quincy Adams that if there wasn’t slavery in Missouri the South would rejoin Britain… Constitution, Democracy, “America” are totally up for sacrifice if they might help or give power to marginalized people.

The replies to this tweet, justifying this door, are disheartening. This flag was a Confederate flag & then rarely seen until the 20th century, as symbol of white pride & power, & as a response to civil rights & integration You can’t un-ring that bell & you shouldn’t want took

Trump got his largest number of votes in 2020 from California. 155 million Americans voted & Biden won by 7 million. If Republican politics, policies & candidates can close that gap in the popular vote, that mean most Americans don’t want them in the White House. #Democracy

It’s unbelievable that Georgia’s state flag is literally the Confederate States of America’s flag. AND! that this became the flag only 20 years ago. But also, Arkansas’s flag overtly honors the Confederacy & it (the current flag in 2023) was designed by the KKK.
