This is my ancestor Sallie Mason’s grave. The headstone reads “Our Black Mammy”. This was her reward for years of service to the white Mason family at UNC. To be buried with them. So much history to uncover and reckon with.
Excited to participate in this event tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Chapel Hill Public Library. It's free and I hope y'all can make it! We need to talk about the vote. For REAL.

Such an important read. History is context and history is a map.

My first journal article is out in the Journal of African American History’s Special Issue on The Black 1980s. The editors did a great job putting together an issue that will be useful to the current movement for Black freedom and self-determination. Check it out!❤️🖤💚
What a beautiful weekend to commemorate the anniversary of the 4 little girls who died in the 16th street bombing. We honor their memory by supporting the brilliance and promise of our youth today. Asé.
Great reporting indeed! Far too often, people in power want convenient democracy. Democracy is only cool if it suits their agenda. If not, democracy is for those who can afford and manipulate the system. 🙄 sheesh…
Excellent reporting by @triblogblog… Historic disparities we see are systemic… Chapel Hill deserves policy makers working to build inclusive community for ALL & who will fight for the historically marginalized ✊🏾… NOT those doing the biding of a wealthy landholding hierarchy
So honored and grateful to share information with @dailytarheel about BTG and the James Cates Scholars. Trying real hard to be a good ancestor… dailytarheel.com/article/202…
