Humbling moments at yesterday's #maternalhealth bill signing, when folks put a face to my name as the force behind the 2020-2021 legislative push to provide prenatal care access to undocumented women in Va. It remains the greatest policy work in my career. (2/3)

The fire started in the attic. Then burned the Nottoway house to the ground.
Under investigation. The owner has vowed to rebuild.
Cherishing legacies of brutality and inhumanity will no longer stand. A lesson American imperialists refuse to accept, generation to generation

A deep wailing of release by our ancestors was felt watching the flames engulf Nottoway plantation.
Some have shared video stills with marker circles around figures - ancestors.
Whether seen or felt, our ancestors were present, heard & accounted for
