@queenie4rmnola I had my first Black English teacher in college. Dr. Cheryl Wall inspired me to get a PhD in English and today I teach a senior elective on Hurston. My 10th graders are reading Their Eyes Were Watching God and just read Robert Hayden’s poetry.

I grew up in a mostly black city but never had a Black English teacher. I think that played a role in why were not assigned books by Black American authors, poets, or playwrights.

We need to start talking about murdered black women the same way we talked about George Floyd.

Black women have always stood in the gap for our communities, confronting power systems and fighting for the vulnerable when no one else dared to. On the House floor, I commemorated Women’s History Month with @TheBlackCaucus to celebrate the achievements of Black women.

also, im reminded of how Zora Neale Hurston and her work were so undermined. it wasnt until a fellow Black woman (Alice Walker*) dedicated her life basically retrieving all the knowledge she produced and also gave her a dignified burial. many institutions still dont rate ZNH an -

Today is the first day of early voting… you all know who I am & that I will continue to fight for transparency, affordability & accountability! I’ll see y’all at the polls! The last democratic governor of Texas faced the exact same attacks, yet she beat them back because she was qualified & strong. “Ann Richards, who served as the 45th Governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995, overcame significant skepticism about her electability to become the first woman elected to the office in her own right. As a liberal Democrat running in a rapidly shifting conservative state, she faced immense pressure and doubt from political insiders before her successful 1990 campaign.”

In honor of Renee and Alex and all of those who were murdered by the masked militarized heavily armed thugs of ICE - I've made The Maxi Hearts of Minneapolis. The chunks are the hearts of Minneapolis. The base ice cream combines some favorite flavors of the immigrant community—coconut and passionfruit. This is not a Ben & Jerrys flavor, it’s Ben’s Best flavor. Because Ben & Jerry’s is also under a form of occupation and they’re not gonna say it, so I will: ICE is a masked lawless rogue para military force that is blatantly violating the constitution and trampling on our rights as US citizens. ICE must be defunded and disbanded. #ICEout #FreeBenAndJerrys
