I wrote this as a reflection on the different ways that the Black Lives Matter movement was received compared to the high school student mobilizations against gun violence...and the ways both can come together. socialistworker.org/2018/02/…

"The museum is presented as an illegal mechanism of colonialism, and along with that, a space which does not even welcome those whose culture it displays. And is there anything incorrect about that?" #BlackPanther jhuexhibitionist.com/2018/02…

We invite you all to RT the #BeingBlackAndMuslim HT convo. We ask that allies signal boost and RT responses by Black Muslims and avoid derailing the conversation by centering the plurality of Black Muslim identities in the #BlackMuslimAtlantic

When you report this you remember she was human: mother, daughter, sister, aunt. Her heart was bigger than the world. It really really was. She cared when most people wouldn't have. She was good. She only pursued right, no matter what. No one gave her justice.

One of my favorite moments in the year was an intergenerational event we hosted in Detroit for black Muslim elders and youth to connect and learn from one another. The amount of wisdom in that space has carried me through. My deepest gratitude to my chosen #BlackMuslimFamily ❤️

I am a 15yo student at Patrick Henry high school, and I am trying to get my school’s name changed. Parick Henry was a slave owner and hypocrite. He does not reflect the schools population, nor community... my school district REFUSES to help financially. RETWEET AND DONATE!!
