@kurteichenwald @chuckwoolery This is the photo that inspired 'Strange Fruit' - there was a 3rd young black man who was supposed to die that day...but somehow managed to escape with his life. He spent the next 70+ years tirelessly working to document the horrors of Jim Crow so that people would never forget. @kurteichenwald @chuckwoolery His name was Dr. James Cameron, founder of the Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee (where he lived out his last few decades). I had the honor & privilege of meeting & speaking with him a couple times before his death. One of the strongest and most inspiring people I've ever met.

That's not the question that was asked. The question is about power & who wields it. Women are making strides, but it's laughable if you think that the examples you raise flip the hierarchy.

So let's examine that power in the industries you mentioned.

Higher Education:

Women earn 57% of undergrad, 59% of Master's degrees, and a majority of PhDs.

But they only account for:
- 32% of professorships
- 30% of college presidencies

And the pay disparities in higher ed are terrible
