Colleges and universities don't indoctrinate people. They challenge you to think differently about the world and about people not like us. That's why we have to protect them. #education #embrace #tellthewholetruth

❌ Debate culture ✅ Real conversations with people Because talking to each other like human beings is how we start treating EVERYONE like they're human beings.

A Supreme Court ruling against the Voting Rights Act of 1965 would be bigger than just election maps and gerrymandering. It would be further proof that America refuses to learn from its history and a reminder that white supremacy and democracy can't co-exist.

The truth can’t be silenced. In 1970, when Wamsutta Frank James was barred from telling the real story of the Pilgrims, he turned censorship into action creating the National Day of Mourning. This Indigenous People’s Day, we honor his courage to reclaim history. (1/2)

This Indigenous People’s Day (Monday, October 13), we honor Annie Mae Pictou Aquash, a fearless advocate for Indigenous rights and a leader in the Native civil rights movement. Her courage continue to inspire generations fighting for justice, sovereignty, and equality.

Heather McGhee warned us about "zero-sum" politics in "The Sum of Us." And we're seeing it play it now: when we start trying to win at other peoples' expense, everyday people lose, no matter what side of the aisle they're on. So let's flip the script.

Thank you, @EmbraceBOS & @askimari, for inviting me to give the keynote address at last week's Embrace Arts & Culture Summit. And what better place to discuss arts and culture than with our hosts at @MassArt!
