For the record: You cannot have an abortion in the 9th month. You cannot have an abortion after birth. If we didn’t keep banning books, maybe we wouldn’t have to clear that up. #Debate2024

Makes sense. Students and their families can't choose a college until they know how they're going to pay for it. #FIXFAFSA #HigherEd

With folks questioning @Beyonce as a country artist, it’s a good moment to revisit this epic @NewYorker profile of the amazing @RhiannonGiddens & how thru a “bizarre warping of American cultural memory,” we have forgotten that country music has Black roots

The roots musician is inspired by the evolving legacy of the black string band.

EvCC Trustee Dr. Betty Cobbs, an elementary school principal, was named one of 5 principals to watch in 2024 by @K12DiveNews. "There are up-and-coming principals to watch — and then there are principals worth watching because of their extensive experience." Way to go, Dr. Cobbs!

In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people. The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him.

Dear politicians/political influencers: When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work. Don’t just quote him. Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

Anyone against Diversity Equity, & Inclusion does not believe in American values. “Diversity” is E Pluribus Unum, out of many one. “Equity” is the belief that all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

To assume merit is the reason White people are overrepresented in positions of power and influence is to assume White people are superior. To assume peoples of color in positions of power and influence are unqualified and unmerited is to assume peoples of color are inferior. 1/
