Glowing from my Black Freedom event at Kindred Stories in Houston. What a joy to talk Juneteenth, Emancipation Days, memory and struggle in Texas!
Black Freedom chronicles the celebration of freedom that began well before the national holiday. Available everywhere books are sold!
Headed to Houston for an event at Kindred Books! Join us if you can!!!
Today SCOTUS allowing Alabama to press ahead with the use of a map that erases a majority Black congressional district makes clear clear that this Court has unashamedly set its course to dismantle the 14th Amendment brick-by-brick. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
It's pub day! No better way to resist the erasure of Black history then to buy Black books! Available anywhere books are sold!

A great day in Montgomery, AL as thousands gathered under the theme “All Roads Lead to the South” - a rally to mobilize awareness & action in opposition to southern states racial gerrymandering to dismantle majority Black congressional districts after the SCOTUS decision in Louisiana v Calláis.
Wow. The generation most exposed to the changes of AI has questions... we ought to be listening.

YAY! With just a half hour to spare, the UPS driver delivered my pre-order of BLACK FREEDOM by @profblmkelley.bsky.social and it looks, and *feels*, beautiful.

I miss some of the corporations being here so that I could do things like tag United Airlines in this photo I took on the plane from SFO to Newark this morning!
I don’t think this is supposed to happen!
