For anyone who is interested in reading up on BLACK HISTORY I got this list in my email which has some great books on it.... The Schomburg Center's Black Liberation Reading List | The New York Public Library nypl.org/blog/2020/06/0…

Ed Smith, one of the first African Americans to work in video games, has published an autobiography! We're adding this immediately to our library, and you should too. Let's support capturing more black voices in our video game history canon: amazon.com/Imagine-That-A…

How many gamers know a black inventor was behind the very first video game cartridge? Designer Gerald Lawson created the Fairchild Channel F. He pioneered using consoles to play an endless number of games, a pillar of the video game industry to this day.

It is very, very disappointing that at such a transformational moment, we are reverting to reform after reform after reform, even as a multiracial coalition across the country is demanding to defund the police

Love that this is happening more and more. make sure to stay there and form a line in front of the restaurant and not let replacement workers in. hopefully folks see this and come help you hold that line.

Long live George Jackson ✊🏾

Breonna Taylor should’ve turned 27 today but she was murdered in her sleep in her own home. This is why we march, this is why we protest. Rest In Peace Breonna, we will never stop fighting for you or all the lives taken by police brutality. #breonnataylor #blacklivesmatter

We are union members demanding that the AFL-CIO terminate its affiliation with police unions. #1u #Labor4BlackLives

Organization is definitely important. Work together and protect each other. Keep the movement alive.
