"Sometimes, those very conditions of security, support and love are weaponized to force you into silence and discourage you from speaking your truth." @kimberlecrenshaw.bsky.social speaks to @mschnall.bsky.social about her new memoir, BACKTALKER:
"I don't go to bed at night feeling bad about MAGA regarding critical race theory, intersectionality or Black people," says feminist Kimberle Crenshaw.
The systematic dismantling of Black Studies in the United States is mirroring a dangerous parallel in the United Kingdom, where the discipline now faces the threat of total erasure. We call upon the university management to reverse course immediately.
Excited to share that our host @kimberlecrenshaw.bsky.social has been named a finalist for Podcaster of the Year at the inaugural HigherEd PodCon Awards. Thank you to the HigherEd PodCon team and congratulations to all of the finalists.
I want to give a huge thank you to the NY Liberty @wnba.com team for choosing @aapf.org as a partner for this year’s Commissioner’s Cup. I couldn’t make it to game 1 but waking up to my favorite players holding copies of #Backtalker was AMAZING. Congrats on the Game 1 win ❤️

So much gratitude to the wonderful @krishgm.bsky.social for his thoughtful and probing questions that allowed me to more fully explain what CRT is and why it has been a target in the war on woke and why all stakeholders in our democracy must backtalk.
Coming up on Friday: Pioneering civil rights scholar @kimberlecrenshaw.bsky.social will be in conversation with Angela Rye!
In “Backtalker: An American Memoir,” Crenshaw transports readers to moments that not only shaped her but motivated her to work towards reshaping the world.

Yesterday’s baseless hearing on @splcenter.org had one purpose: undermine the civil rights infrastructure that works every day to keep Americans secure and free. Without organizations like SPLC, all of us are less safe. This weaponization will not end with SPLC, and we will not remain silent.
