📚 I enjoyed reading @gavinmevans.bsky.social’s book on white supremacy.

Just visited the Wits Origins Center in Johannesburg.
🇿🇦 has some of the oldest Australopithecus fossils (-2.8M y.) and traces of Homo Sapiens (-260K y.) out there.
I found the rock art by San people (thousands of years old) particularly stunning 🤩

The 🇿🇦 Constitutional Court. It was symbolically built post-apartheid in the heart of Johannesburg, on Constitutional Hill, the site of one of the main political prisons of the 20th century —where the Mandelas as well as Gandhi spent time in jail.

📚 I very much enjoyed reading bell hooks’ “The Will to Change” and was especially struck by the paragraphs below.
