I had the fortune to hear #Cynthia_Erivo at a leadership event last night. She is both an artist and intellectual. A few ideas she shared:
--The things that make you you are frequently subject to being eroded
--Be open to change, but hold on to yourself.
Also there was Colorado Gov. #Jared_Polis.

I was quoted in this Washington Post article about some of the January 6 convicts who now seek prison reform. Though I quoted the late Professor Derrick Bell profusely on the topic of interest convergence, it didn't make the cut. Nonetheless the sentiment is there.

As I discussed in _The Princeton Fugitive Slave_, when Woodrow Wilson was president of Princeton in 1907, he oversaw the mass firing of Black workers. As U.S. president in 1913 he signed executive orders segregating federal buildings, and most Black people were phased out of the civil service.

Heading to #AALS. I can't believe it's been 25 years since my first annual meeting while on the TT. At that meeting I got to meet and briefly speak with then attorney general Janet Reno. Who all is going to be at this year's meeting?
