Today, July 4th, recognizes a day of rebellion in 1776 when 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, declaring autonomy, freedom and self-determination from, what some would call, the tyrannical rule of Great Britain. archives.gov/founding-docs/… (1/8)
This day of independence was spurred by a series of major acts of defiance to British rule over the now American colonists. (2/8)

History has taught me to be a better friend & educator. I don’t believe in letting go of the past, as the past has shaped who we are & how we live.

I have too much to say about the continual & clear existence of anti-Black racism so I’ll just point out that it was phenom learning w/ @eji_org & I’m excited to use this incredible calendar I picked up at @splcenter. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory365 #BlackHistoryMonth2020
Watching @JustMercyFilm, followed by a sharing of @DesmondCole’s book, “The Skin We’re In”, was such a treat w/ @MmeAsante & Coly who went to #Alabama w/ me to deepen our understanding of our roles as anti-oppressive educators. #theskinwerein #blackliberation #BlackLivesMatter
