“We march bc we deem it a crime to be silent in the face of such barbaric acts. We march bc we want our 🚸 to live in a better 🏞️ & enjoy fairer conditions than have fallen to our lot.
We live in spite of death shadowing us & ours. We prosper in the face of the most unwarranted & illegal oppression.”

*Krio, translated to English: Don’t forget about us. Contextual translation: You are not afforded the luxury of unspeakable grief…

I hope, in reading this, we see a bit clearer.
I hope the work of your day passes through your hands with ease.

Suya Joint update: “This is more than a restaurant closure. This is the dismantling of a dream and a community space - caused by a system that disregards the contributions of immigrants like Paul.” #PaulDama #Boston
Suya Joint Update on Paul - WHAT'S HAPPENING, WHAT'S NEXT, AND HOW YOU CAN HELP. PLEASE KEEP SUPPORTING AND SHARING. #FREEPAULDAMA #JUSTICEFORPAUL SUYA JOINT UPDATE ON PAUL DAMA’S CASE W FAQ + HOW TO HELP “This is more than a restaurant closure. This is the dismantling of a dream and a community space - caused by a system that disregards the contributions of immigrants like Paul. Update on Paul Unfortunately, the judge denied my brother Paul's bond request. Despite strong evidence, we were met with rejection. His asylum hearing is now set for September 23rd. We're pursuing every legal option available. 📅 We're advocating for Paul's release under ISM - Intensive Supervision Monitoring. It would allow him to live in the community as his case proceeds. But ICE holds the final decision. If this doesn't work...I (Sister) may be forced to shut down the restaurant. It's getting harder to hold it all together. Please keep Paul in your thoughts. 🙏🏽 Every donation. Every share. Every prayer. It all helps. How You Can Help: Community support is essential at this critical moment. You can: • Donate or share Paul's fundraiser below • Write a letter of support to submit to the court • Share Paul's story on social media or with your networks • Pray and stand with us as we fight for justice Thank You Every donation, letter, and prayer helps bring Paul one step closer to home. We're deeply grateful to stand in this fight with our community.”

“Click, click, click, click, click!…

Watching these klans shamble down the street, I’m reminded of bales of white, still soaked in colored folk sweat n blood…

Like how Bruh Fox catch Bruh Rabbit, I imagine my brother saying.”

ONE You ever seen a Klan march? We don't have them as grand in Macon, like you might see in Atlanta. But there's Klans enough in this city of fifty-odd thousand to put on a fool march when they get to feeling to. This one on a Tuesday, the Fourth of July, which is today. There's a bunch parading down Third Street, wearing white robes and pointed hoods. Not a one got their face covered. I hear them first Klans after the Civil War hid behind pillowcases and flour sacks to do their mischief, even blackened up to play like they colored. But this Klan we got in 1922 not concerned with hiding. All of them-men, women, even little baby Klans-down there grinning like picnic on a Sunday. Got all kinds of fireworks-sparklers, Chinese crackers, sky rockets, and things that sound like cannons. A brass band competing with that racket, though everybody down there I swear clapping on the one and the three. With all the flag-waving and cavorting, you might forget they was monsters. But I hunt monsters. And I know them when I see them. "One little Ku Klux deaaaad," a voice hums near my ear. "Two little Kluxes deaaaad, Three little Kluxes, Four little Kluxes, Five little Kluxes deaaaad." I glance to Sadie crouched beside me, hair pulled into a long brown braid dangling off a shoulder. She got one eye cocked, staring down the sights on her rifle at the crowd below as she finishes her ditty, pretending to pull the trigger. Click, click, click, click, click! "Stop that now." I push away the rifle barrel with a beaten-up book. "That thing go off and you liable to make me deaf. Besides, somebody might catch sight of us." Sadie rolls big brown eyes at me, twisting her lips and lobbing a spitty mess of tobacco onto the rooftop. I grimace. Girl got some disgusting habits. "I swear Maryse Boudreaux." She slings her rifle across blue overalls too big for her skinny self and puts hands to her hips to give me the full Sadie treatment, looking like some irate yella gal sharecropper. Notation 15: *There's a Shout we do 'bout old pharaoh and Moses. The Lord part the Red Sea and all his people run through. Old pharaoh thinking to follow, but when he do them waters fall in on him! So we say, Pharaoh's host got lost, and Shout 'bout all the fussing and crying he musta done to see it. I was a boy when Union soldiers come tell us 'bout the Jubilee. Always imagine them blue uniforms was like the waters falling in on old pharaoh-'cause wicked massa and missus them sure nuff did some wailing and fussing to see us go [laughter]. - Interview with Uncle Will, age 67, transliterated from the Gullah by Emma Kraus* RING SHOUT - P. DJÈLÍ CLARK For Claude McKay: "If we must die let it not be like hogs." And for Lulu Wilson's Maw: "My maw was in her cabin with a week-old baby and one night twelve Klu Kluxes done come to the place. They come in by ones and she whopped 'em one at a time." (One 👏🏽 at 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 time) RIGHT SHOUT - P. DJÈLÍ CLARK IN AMERICA. DEMONS WEAR WHITE HOODS. In 1915, The Birth of a Nation casts a spell across America, swelling the Klan's ranks and drinking deep from the darkest thoughts of white folk. All across the nation they ride, spreading fear and violence among the vulnerable. They plan to bring hell to Earth. But even Ku Kluxes can die, Standing in their way are Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foulmouthed sharpshooter and a Harlem Hellfighter. Armed with blade, bullet, and bomb, they hunt their hunters and send the Klan's demons straight to hell. But something awful's brewing in Macon, and the war on hell is about to heat up. Can Maryse stop the Klan before it ends the world?
