When I first got to Philly, I was a fish out of water. No connections. No place to live. I was at Temple everyday, crashing at Paley library. Someone saw me in stacks and said, “You need to go to Blockson”. His books changed my life. Thank you, Mr. Blockson.

Charles Blockson is the last of his generation of bibliophiles. He had no peer. He gathered our history for the purest of motives. I love him like the father he was to me. Unpretentious. Unfiltered. Generous. Working for him shaped me forever. His soul rises like Re. Asé-oo

Under DeSantis’s new laws, Floridians may never learn there was once a Black Superintendent of Schools in Florida who was so forceful in his advocacy for civil and educational rights, that he had to sleep armed in his attic to ward off attacks from the KKK. Meet Jonathan Gibbs.

As the first Black superintendent of schools, Jonathan Gibbs supervised every county’s standard of education and established uniform textbooks across Florida. I hope his ghost is haunting Ron DeSantasis and Florida state legistlators who undermine and attack public education.

Just because someone is nice does not mean that they are being compassionate, or honest, or righteous, or just. It certainly does not mean that they are not racist.

Don’t care what you think about Roland Martin. He’s teaching a master class on fact checking and journalistic questioning right here. Want to learn how to expose lies in a media setting like a media forum or town hall? Watch. youtu.be/hU-nAvYFfxg #medialiteracy

J. Michael Harrison, one of the Jazz hosts at WRTI in Philly and Ed. Coordinator at the Clef Club for Jazz recommended this documentary about Roberta Flack, who doesn’t get the credit she deserves as a prodigy and virtuoso pbs.org/video/roberta-… #blackmusic #robertaflack

How is it that a Republican member of Congress can threaten the life of another member of Congress without any repercussions? Answer: white supremacy and sexism.
Ray Ankrum, Sr. Ed.D Ω 🐶@Mr_Ankrum

The #Republican caucus are targeting Women of Color (not under our noses) but in plain sight. #Dems have to stop giving grace and match their energy. Shout out to @AOC w/ the bars. #Matchenergy

How I see Florida: people who don’t care about Black people thinking they have the right to decide what Black people learn about themselves. Denying Black people access to knowledge for their liberation has always been a tool of our enemies and an undercurrent in US education.

I’m glad that we’re all glad that @Eagles and @JalenHurts are in the Super Bowl, but you people out here need to stop talking like Rocky Balboa is a real person. He don’t live here. You know who you are. #joefrazierhasastatuetoo
