Do you realize right now hundreds of thousands of Haitians are waiting for an update on their legal status that ends Feb 3rd unless something changes before then? Students, workers, neighbors, parents, all waiting in fear? Getting emails from HR to renew expiring work authorization? This is torture.

Riot cops did full sweep of the campus not allowing observers to return to their offices. They made everyone exit through a narrow gate. I saw people moving towards the exit arrested for no reason and I saw non-participants forced in to harms way because of the violence outside the gates.
Guns on view. Chancellor overrode campus leadership and ordered full dispersal. Cops in full riot gear.
Whelp. I’m in the faculty line in front of the student encampment. I knew it would happen. My goal is simply to be witness in case of police action. Zip ties are on view.

There’s a myth that the media supported the civil rights movement. While many reporters did courageous reporting in the South, these newspapers help protect segregation at home and viewed local activists and
MLK as troublemakers when they challenged northern segregation and police brutality.

If you’ll be in Atlanta on April 1, come out to Morehouse to hear @jeannetheoharis.bsky.social discuss her new book on the Kings—both Martin and Coretta—and their work beyond the context and framing of the US South.
I had the good fortune of reading an earlier draft. Terrific and important book.
