Honored to be part of a closing plenary at American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) discussing the leadership and vision for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Institutional Autonomy; Academic Freedom; and the basic humanity of our students.

A true how did I get here moment as I attended the PEN Literary Gala. Was a pleasure to meet @velshi.com
And see Jonathan Friedman in person finally! Courage Award winner Michael Roth was both eloquent and brilliant.

This is a visual representation of what I call The Nostalgia Spectrum. How we view history (curriculum) is intertwined with the racialized present and future we see. And complacency is a weapon white nationalism depends on and uses to continue its work.

More than honored to be part of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education Annual Conference, and the featured speakers there. How We Persist: Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion through Advocacy, Collaboration, and Transformative Liberation, is perfect for the moment.

For my new followers who never got to benefit from my artistic prowess, here is my masterpiece. I call it Dinosaur eating a flying cheeseburger.

With @POTUS at AME Church, I am posting the 1st 2 pages of my book, The New White Nationalism in Politics and Higher Education, which shows how hate, racism, and attacks against #highered were coming from the same origin of whiteness. It references AME, Haley, the Confederacy, and more.

Re-upping this masterpiece because it is important.

Delta College librarians are the best....setting up this banned book exhibit. And while I was there, having to take a book off the exhibit because someone was checking it out!

A lot of times I write about higher ed and race. But this is my picture of a dinosaur about to eat a flying cheeseburger.
