yall owe a public apology to the organizers of the Black Justice League for your racist treatment of them five years ago when they raised this issue https://twitter.com/Princeton/status/1276916407473778691">https://twitter.com/Princeton...
i also want to recognize the radical memory work these students engaged in before they organized the sit-in. that fall, all around campus they posted flyers with quotations from wilson& #39;s racist ass. it was remarkable.
i ultimately think these forms of memory work are the most lasting. not the bullshit exhibits that the archives put up.
@timesnewrobin noted that today makes five years since Bree Newsome scaled the pole and snatched the Confederate flag in SC. i hope she& #39;s having a great day.
here& #39;s an excerpt from an upcoming thing i& #39;m writing. sharing only because it& #39;s relevant to the previous tweets.
i finish with: "This is the ultimate lesson from archives, that they are concurrently fundamental yet futile for liberation; that the archival imperative is not access, but action, and that we had better act like our lives depend on it. Because they do."
you& #39;ll see it somewhere, someday soon. maybe. hopefully?
