"The Majority is a tiny hammer in @ElizLSilver's hand...the act of reading like a trigger breaking you apart over and over again.” (@NatashiaDeon) Only a few days left until THE MAJORITY arrives! 🤩 Read more about it here: bit.ly/3VBN3xH

In 1 day, yesterday, since the end of Affirmative Action, 4 Black women leaders let go. I write about this cycle and how Black women lose first in my 1930s novel THE PERISHING. You can’t break a cycle you can’t see or choose not to see.

Two literary & attorney powerhouses: @NatashiaDeon in convo with @ElizLSilver about her latest book, #TheMajority. I read it in manuscript form & absolutely loved it. Liz looks back to give us deeper vision into the present. A monumental work! Get your copy!

The book that wrecked me. COME! JULY 12th! Let’s go outside-outside, low key, to @vromans for: THE MAJORITY by Elizabeth Silver. @ElizLSilver The first time I read this book, I thought, SH*T! Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg can never die…or else women are screwed.

AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY
AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY@AfricanArchives·
“Soooo you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chained to other human bodies for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sunup to sundown as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women raped by ruthless slave owners. Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil War to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KKK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hung on trees... Fought in World Wars as soldiers to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood... and in spite of it all someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here and you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit? How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down! Give this to your young people who don’t know their history and want to get weak! It is NOT in our DNA to quit!”
