#SmartCitiesOnTheRoad

There is nothing like amazing young minds. The #SmartCitiesResearchLab had a great time holding a writing and thinking workshop with students at Swarthmore College about "Campus Police Abolition" and liberatory (and more practical!) visions of safety.

There was a reason why Black Studies was the first point of attack when MAGA went after Higher Education...

Will talk about this and more at Vanderbilt this Friday, April 4. If you are in the Nashville area, come thru👇🏿

"Sometimes you gotta pop out and show..."

Join me at Durham's SEEDS on Feb. 21 @ 5, as we boost up the #DukeRespectDurham campaign on the school's centennial. It's time to get "bullish" on university accountability. There's a reason Black folk called Duke #ThePlantation

Every year, at this time, I am excited to remind people of our amazing work with Laurence King, "The World of the Harlem Renaissance: A Jigsaw Puzzle." It's perfect for Black History month and this year is the centennial of the New Negro volume, edited by Alain Locke

And we remain in service to the historic Black Shoe Lane community, steamrolled to make way for Christopher Newport University in Virginia.

The university has now met their slingshot and rock.
