Hearing stories from historic #AnnArbor through the research, interviews & 1st person reflections of African American leaders made possible by the extraordinary work of @A2CHS students in lifting these powerful voices is a notable & deeply moving step-grateful for the experience!

An awe-filled experience to join @A2CHS BlackHistory #AnnArbor WalkingTour-the work of our amazing @A2schools students & teachers to research & connect w/ JonesSchool alums & historic A2 African American leaders to lift their powerful stories is an important step & deeply moving!
I'm SO excited to teach a new African-American Studies course. If anyone sees this and is interested/able in buying a copy of Wake: The Hidden History of Women Led Slave Revolts, I'm hoping for a class set. They're on sale for just $15 on Amazon right now: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/28…
"bell hooks reminds us that the beginning of love is truth" - thanks for this important reminder of needing to learn, unearth, and grapple with the hard truths of history in order to truly love, @RuizSealey
"Too much schooling and too little education" - I love thinking about this idea from @MilnerHRich. How can I better focus my efforts in (virtual) school towards the EDUCATION my students need right now?

A reminder to my teacher friends who may need this: twoscreensforteachers.org via @2screenteacher #sschat #WIMAHIPL @A2schools
It's "Tacky Sweater Day" for spirit week @A2CHS today. Couldn't find one so I made one. Here's to hoping you're Monday is going ok!
A friendly reminder to students, educators, and families from @BLoveSoulPower today - We are doing something one has ever done before! ... And if we're thinking about justice and love in the middle of a pandemic, we should be hopeful for the future.
I'm working on a proposal for a course called "History of American Racism through Graphic Novels" - What would you want to be sure is included on the reading list? #sschat
SE Michigan Math Teacher friends - opening at my (new) school closes tomorrow: tinyurl.com/y6kkytry - I'd love for you to (virtually) join me at the amazing @A2CHS! Lots of support and help awaits you if you want to join the fun!
I made a collection of collections on unlearning racism, learning race, developing allyship & self-care: tinyurl.com/yapvdv4e. Credit due to those who actually curated the various resources & the artists who shared their work freely in Canva. (Links work in the PDF, not image)

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:
In case your biased news feed is not flooding you with reminders about how the PBS series Asian Americans (#AsianAmPBS) is premiering tonight... It's on now! Check your local PBS station or watch it here: pbs.org/video/breaking-groun…
A lingering wondering from today's virtual Asian Student Association meeting: "I wonder what @MrFirman_J is up to..." ... Will we get an answer? Will he join next week's virtual community event to watch @zentronix's #WeGonBeAlright videos and have discussion with us? ...
Another @IBnewsatWIHI senior surprise delivery! Congrats to @ceIesteknapp!!
Watch, learn, take action. @CollegeBoard - What are you doing to ensure your #APexams are actually accessible this year? Kaleigh brings up that family members may not have context to help describe images - & what about students without someone who can be there with them?
Please help me share this and spread the word. The #APExams are inaccessible to #BlindStudents this year. We don’t have much time; we can’t let this organization impede our chance to succeed! @CNN #ThrivingBlind
Thanks to @wgbh for hosting this webinar on #AsianAmPBS in preparation for the premier of Asian Americans next week! I didn't realize how powerful it would be to watch a screen of APIA folks sharing more stories of our diversity, shared culture, and contributions. Thank you!
