The Furious Flower Poetry Center and a stellar group of scholars and teachers have developed a syllabus that I can assure you will be an amazing resource. I cannot wait to dig into it and if you are at all interested in Black Poetry you will dig it too. jmu.edu/furiousflower/…

@dwaynebetts Thank you D, for your integrity, thoughtfulness and compassion on this, because my initial thought was, "Let's ask the pro-lifers what to do with her or ask the Black men who were detained until they figured out she was lying."

@jezzbah I feel this because my children are very light-skinned with light eyes but look just like me. But white folks get confused until they really look at them and not just their skin color.

One of the great joys in serving on Council are the weekly "centering moments" provided by Rock Star Poet Laureate Fred Joiner. As @fjoiner's appointment winds down, I'm looking forward to the new voice that Poet Laureate Liza Wolff-Francis will bring to the Chamber.
Carrboro, NC@CarrboroGov

#Carrboro Announces New #PoetLaureate Liza Wolff-Francis will be introduced as the next Carrboro Poet Laureate at the West End Poetry Festival on Saturday, Oct 15. ↪️ townofcarrboro.org/CivicAlerts.as… #carrboro #poetlaureate #poetry #poet #westendpoetryfestival

@JemarTisby God bless you @JemarTisby for engaging with folks, who as Baldwin said “are trapped inside are trapped inside a history they do not understand.” Most are so committed to the fictions of their religion, faith, their nation and identity that you can not talk in any critical manner.

This powerful meditation from @ProfessorEA was recommended to me by @fjoiner in a chance meeting at @epiloguebooksch a few weeks ago. I finally had some time to finish this afternoon. Vital work from Dr. Alexander.

@ryanbee I would love to see that sliver of a street closed. It would create a nice anchor with a corridor to Town Commons. It would a a perfect place for live music and festivals downtown.

Aaron Douglas found inspiration in the blues, creating a visual equivalent to Langston Hughes’ efforts to capture the sound, texture, & southern origins of modern Black culture See their 1925 collaboration in “Modern Black Culture: Art of Aaron Douglas” at @AcklandArt
