Calling Arkansas creatives!

Share a picture, video, or text of your or another Arkansan's creative work of resistance as part of the #FallOfFreedom #ARroundup.

Links will be posted at linktr.ee/FOF.ARroundup for revie, sharing, and inspiration for action.
Calling Arkansas creatives! Take part in FallOfFreedom.com on Nov 21 and 22. Art matters, courage is contagious. How to participate: 1. Create or identify a work of resistance by an Arkansan or Arkansas connected artist. 2. Send a link to the work to FOF.ARroundup@gmail.com or share link on social media with #FallOfFreedom and #ARroundup. We’ll post to the LinkTree. 3. Check out the full roundup on Sunday, November 23, at https://linktr.ee/FOF.ARroundup 4. Spread the word! Be inspired! This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge — even wisdom. Like art. - Toni Morrison

Really enjoyed the Mississippi Center for Justice Gala and Social Justice Brunch. Such great work and and inspiration for us all. Had to wait until I was back in Arkansas to post this though, since Bluesky can’t operate in MS.

Excited for Juneteenth, my favorite holiday. Thinking of my family who were enslaved - Mose Neal, Andy Suttles, Griffin Henry Belk (pictured), Jim Neal, Burrell Green (USCT Regiment 11, Company B), Jane Green, Sarah Suttles, Elizabeth Neal, and more.

Glad to speak at this week's Heirs' Property Ethical Research Forum at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta on the alignment between bioethics and heirs' property research ethics. Also got to see friends and family in Atlanta some attending the ABFE meeting.

Great time moderating a rural entrepreneurship session with fantastic panelists at yesterday's ESO Summit on entrepreneurship in Arkansas. Big thanks to panelists Veronica Ozura, Janell Owens Reeves, and Latanyua T. Robinson, and to session organizer Itzel Velazquez.

Donate blood.
Every 56 days.
Save up to three lives.
Thank Charles Drew.

Karama Neal with her right sleeve rolled up while donating blood in honor of and gratitude to Charles Drew. She is also excited about the cookies and multiverse T-shirts provided in thanks. Please consider donating blood, every 56 days if possible. The need is constant and so many people aren't able, aren't allowed, or are unwilling.

My mother's Nikki Giovanni, and mine. My daughter has favorite poems of hers too. Such a contribution. She will be missed.

I’m so pleased to attend the @rurallisc.bsky.social Seminar in my hometown this week! Excellent content and a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends from around the country. Also enjoyed speaking on heirs property at the pre-con and the associated discussion.
