Farmers of color have experienced a long history of discrimination. From 1910 to 1997, Black farmers were stripped of 90% of their land—a staggering loss and a major contribution to the racial wealth gap. https://t.co/6MBYWVxsI8

An important thread. I visited Angola in college and it has haunted me ever since. We met so many inmates who were in jail for 50-60 years for petty crime. All black, all male. https://t.co/8XCh3vZ3eE

This innocent 17 year-old black child did nothing but compiled.
After brutalizing this young black man, the police lied and said he was resisting!
THIS IS SICKENING
THIS IS WHY WE KNEEL! pic.twitter.com/L8nR53lyf4

What does it mean for the people living under systemic oppression when society frames their rebellion as a riot?#BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/1chtMk8bkV

They were found together. Two were so close their limbs touched. Sunday dresses tattered. Bodies shattered. Lives taken by killers for whom they didn't matter. They did and they do. Never forget Denise, Carole, Cynthia, Addie Mae. Our Four Little Girls. Lost 56 years ago today. pic.twitter.com/rwlelmxbsa

Today, #EricGarner should be celebrating his 49th birthday
Instead, his family mourns his unjustified death; his friend, Ramsey Orta, who filmed his death remains incarcerated; and the cop who killed him was never criminally prosecuted and lost his job only after yrs of activism pic.twitter.com/JvE9Lg9RRx

This is a damn shame. More people would rather give #DanielPantaleo reward money for killing #EricGarner than donate to their fellow Americans in need of clean water in Flint. We’ve lost our way.#SaveFlintChallenge https://t.co/Q51NU4WUNb
