Over 12,000 ships. 12.5 million stolen lives. 1.8 million souls lost in transit. Truth-telling is remembrance. We have to continue naming the unnamed, mourning the unacknowledged, and reclaiming the history they tried to erase. Remembrance is resistance. pic.twitter.com/JHwKXmwgj1

The FL Board of Education will continue to teach problematic Black history lessons on slavery! These standards will require students to learn about the so-called “benefits” of slavery. This is a slap in the face to the Black community & MUST be revoked!

Instead of learning and leaning in, they’d rather close the departments down.

That shit that went down at Ole Miss is proof that colleges actually need to focus on CRT. When you’ve got a crowd of 20-somethings standing around laughing and the police telling the Black woman to calm down while a White man makes monkey gestures at her, that’s a problem.
