I wrote this poem as an homage to Baldwin and to hear it being sung across the world or read in protests has been my own guiding light of hope.

And the danger of this sort of open bigotry in an administration that tried to overturn the will of a multiracial electorate and is eviscerating civil rights protections and voting rights, continues to treated by too many as mere politics and not a dangerous entrenchment of white rule.

The VP of the US can give a speech saying no one has to be ashamed to be white anymore — the type of mainstream political speech we haven’t seen since before the civil rights acts, and the rhetoric is treated as merely divisive with few pointing out the obvious truth that white men remain in power.

One can post white supremacist talking points all day every day while your company was facing multiple race discrimination complaints and your racism is viewed as so beside the point that you are offered a trillion pay package.

For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.

Today’s SCOTUS decision on birthright citizenship sadly confirms the argument of my essay that published today: We are in a once-in-century battle for civil rights, and therefore, democracy.
I've covered race for two decades. I knew the 2nd Trump Admin would be dangerous for civil rights. Yet the collapse of the federal civil rights architecture and national will to address racial inequality and work on integration is stunning. Here's my latest. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/m...

Listen, I learned four years ago when I rejected UNC for Howard the tremendous power of these two words: I refuse.
"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."
Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea?
