While looking forward to keynote speakers at @NCSSNetwork conf. in Phila., we're listening to their podcasts. Like @hmcghee's "Sum of Us." Each episode a story of interracial solidarity. For exp., Manhattan Beach on land taken from Black family in 1924. 🧵open.spotify.com/episode/0rrSqE…
Heather McGhee is an artful storyteller in #TheSumofUsPod.
Listeners learn about Bruce’s Beach Resort (also in #SeizingFreedom pod by @KidadaEWilliams) & 2020's campaign to make amends, repair, reparations.
Would pair well with reparations lesson ⬇️

In articles, lessons, textbooks, podcasts about 20th century, they often identify "Black press" but otherwise report on "the press."
The "white press" or "corporate media" should also be named as such.
Always ask: What did Black press report at time? zinnedproject.org/materials/news…
