Yes, systemic racism is real. And people of color – African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and other minorities – face it every day. We still have a lot of work to do, America. The good news: by speaking up about it, you can be part of the solution.

Ben & Jerry gets it.

We cannot avoid using power, cannot escape the compulsion to afflict the world, so let us, cautious in diction and mighty in contradiction, love powerfully.

What has allowed you to come here today? Freedom & education. Many don't have those. Education is the light to see the world. Not just to see, to analyze, to recognize and correct the wrongs.

Ryan Turk, a Virginia middle school student, was handcuffed and suspended from school over a 65-cent carton of milk. Turk is a part of Graham Park Middle School’s free lunch program and returned to the line to get his milk, which he said he’d forgotten. When he went back, a police officer accused him of stealing.

“The concept of the school-to-prison pipeline is something that I think folks struggle to understand sometimes. This is a prime example of how this starts. A minor offense (or in this case, what looks like a misunderstanding) occurs and is responded to by law enforcement instead of a conversation and/or correction. How many white students do you think would be charged for larceny in this situation? This overwhelmingly happens to students of color, particularly boys and young men. This young man may potentially have a criminal record over a $0.65 container of milk. That record could lead to more significant consequences if he had any other legal issues. That record could keep him out of some of our institutions. One little stupid incident and a police officers choice to weird his power this way could potentially forever change the course of this kids life. It's horrifying.” Martha Compton

“Despite the utter absence of us, it’s still an internal revolution to say, 'Wait a minute. We are not only worthy of great art, but the source of.' It takes a lot of work to get there.”

On the cusp of Black History Month and Women's History Month (and my first anniversary in TN), here's an artifact from the 1800s.

General Clinton Fisk advises Black Women in Plain Counsels for Freedmen. He was a progressive thinker, considering his time. Unfortunately, respectability politics haven't evolved in the past 150 years.

Founding Father of Racism in The USA.

“he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them; thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.

in every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions have been answered by repeated injury. a prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a people who mean to be free. future ages will scarce believe that the hardiness of one man, adventured within the short compass of 12 years only, on so many acts of tyranny without a mask, over a people fostered & fixed in principles of liberty.”
