Learning.
TBH tho it feels a bit like I'm cramming for an exam I should've taken 30 years ago.
Trying to pace myself.
Reminding myself daily it's not a race tho, it'll be a lifelong marathon with all due respect.

As a WP, who went to public school in MN, college also in MN, I can say that very little of this history was covered in my curriculum. This should be required reading for every WP.
Thank u Erica for your work.

A master class thread overarching centuries of Black History. TY @michaelharriot for ur voice.
"One of the most popular misconceptions about black history is that over time, America has gradually become less racist and more tolerant.
That is not true." https://twitter.com/michaelharriot/status/1224881005120630787?s=20

TY @ava for sharing the horrible injustice that was done to George Stinney Jr. He was robbed of his life, at only 14 yrs old.
70 laters he was cleared of any crime, but, as we all know, a court ruling doesn't bring back those that are gone. https://twitter.com/ava/status/1272907761492295690?s=20

There is a Short Film about #GeorgeStinneyJr, thanks to Andrew Powell Howell, called "83 Days".
The title derives from the sad fact that only 83 days spanned the time from his arrest to the day of his execution.

The "Homework" Thread
What's this you ask?
Just like it sounds.
The Work we (white people) gotta do in our hearts, our lives, in our circles, & beyond.
*stay tuned for new assignments*

Didn't have the Spoons to give proper respect & attention to #The13th this evening.
Instead I assigned myself 20 mins w/ #LastWeekTonight as Jon Oliver covered the horrifying lack of credentials & exp required to be a coroner in this country.

Witnessed this heartbreakingly moving illustration (created by Baddify) this afternoon.
So many lives lost to racism, police brutality, & injustice.
Even worse to learn many I'm not aware of. Correcting that asap.
