At a press conference shortly the Black clergy plan to point out that the African refugee crisis is far from over. That when refugees went off the streets, the governments let themselves off the hook. That the churches themselves are on brink of crisis

Pastor leads call by Black clergy demanding that governments either treat African refugees fairly or hand over millions to churches to house them.

As a black woman on a national science show, I intentionally wear braids and my curly Afro to normalize black hair in stem. In this pic, Iโ€™m wearing cornrows to study plants being sent to space at NASA.

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Buffalo. This is Ruth Whitfield, 86. Her son, the former Buffalo Fire Commissioner, said she was on her way from visiting her husband in a nursing home and stopped at the store to get something to eat.

Dear PhDs, You don't have to feel guilty for not being where you thought you would be at this point in life. Life sometimes has different plans for us and we must learn to accept. If you're making efforts and not giving up, know that you will soon reach where you want to be.

Germany has agreed to pay Namibia โ‚ฌ1.1bn over the historical Herero-Nama genocide. Between 1904 and 1908, German colonial troops killed, tortured and displaced tens of thousands of Herero and Nama after the tribes rose up against colonial rule. https://t.co/V2xrmriroL
