I interviewed @iamwesmoore about his new book, “Five Days.” It was enlightening, enraging, and just the read to connect the dots across the uprisings we are witnessing. Freddie Gray and the aftermath of his murder felt all too similar to Ferguson after Mike Brown Jr’s murder.

People don’t hear themselves. If your defense against being a racist dept is to talk about a hire in the 80s..... stop. Just stop right there. You’re not helping your argument.

As the 1st BW to graduate from Yale astro w a PhD in astrophysics, I was asked to comment on the racist dept emails sent by senior faculty in this @buzzfeednews story. TBH, I wasn't planning to. Not surprising and not worth my time. #BlackintheIvory buzzfeednews.com/article/ste…

Don’t let the degrees fool you as @CourtneyCogburn said the other day. You call me for a quote and ask what to tell kids about the looting, prepare for a brief history lesson from the Boston Tea party to the Dawes Act to Black Wall Street to name a few. #bloop #history #context
We’ve got some serious expertise on this panel. Don’t miss our Zoom livestream panel TONIGHT discussing #parenting and #racism! #RaisingEquity
