Let me know if you have issues accessing the essay

It's about how Black Panamanians and Black Americans created athletic pipelines at #HBCUs in the 20th Century.

Check my latest essay, Lost in Translation: Reverted Black Panamanian Sporting Networks in @SCquarterly. I LOVE this essay because it's about the people that gave me life. #HBCUs southerncultures.org/article/lost-i…

In the 60s & 70s, Panamanian activist Carlos Russell got involved in the African American freedom struggle & founded Black Solidarity Day. My article on his trajectory as a "Hemispheric Ambassador of Black Power" between New York and Panama is now online: academia.edu/100146216/Hemi…

@Christoph2012 Thanks!

@ProfJWallace There’s an excellent book on this topic! You should definitely check it out. — amazon.com/Mexicos-Nobodi…

I’ve been working on this list of enslaved and non-enslaved Afrodescendants buried in a San Antonio, TX church during Spanish colonial period starting about the 1770s. Can wait disrupt a lot of folks ideas about Black presence in Spanish/Mexican Texas!

@BlkNunHistorian Yes, this is tied to catholic history as these burials were recorded at San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio

@ChicanosUEdCtte @AfroLatinoTrav I’m aware of this history, but I’m centering the individuals that were enslaved in Spanish/Mexican Tejas not persons that self-emancipated to Mexico. The story is deeper and doesn’t start there. Spanish colonists and their descendants were enslavers in Texas too

@pstcolonialdame @sherwinkbryant Here are some of the enslaved persons listed in the burials

@ProfJWallace @sherwinkbryant This is the kind of Texas history I NEEDED growing up in SA! 🙌🏽👏🏽

These names do not included persons listed of African descent that were not categorized as enslaved. We are going over this in our @AfroLatinoTrav Primavera Negra workshop starting next week eventbrite.com/e/primavera-ne…

These are SOME of the names of enslaved individuals who were buried in San Fernando Cathedral, in San Antonio, Texas. San Fernando was founded in 1731. Source: San Fernando Church Burials, 1761-1808. Transcribed and translated by John O. Leal. List complied by Javier Wallace

This thread is everything!! Please read, take note and take action. Mexico is JUST like the U.S. and every other settler colonial nation in the Americas #Period

Foreign NCAA Athletes Are Missing Out on NIL Money Due to Visa Rules <——- The F-1 Student Visa could never work with the multibillion “amateur” sports industry. This was the case before #NIL and is still the case! reason.com/2023/04/03/for…

Y’all need to read this thread by @LorienTinuviel . It’s forcing us to reckon with violent history of the Texas Rangers and public memory. We have to give the humanity back to those that were refused in while alive. Thanks for this story!

Just saw the proof for my essay dropping in @SCquarterly this summer!! Can’t wait to share! Through my father’s story I connect diasporic Black Athletic networks from the former US Panama Canal Zone to #HBCUs. It got pics too!! Y’all be on the lookout

So happy to meet @ProfJWallace !! He’s such a great person and a great FAMU grad ! Re: @DrKenyattaCavil
