During the session on Black women in the labor force, @thomaskhudson and I shared data on inequalities in employment, labor force participation, and income. Thanks to @AnthonyMBarr for his contributions to our research! We discussed what HBCUs are doing to help students prepare for the future of work with automation. #SACE2024 – at Washington, DC

Narratives that make Black a synonym for crime aren’t just stereotypes, they’re weapons that kill. ONE Black woman pleads guilty to a crime, #DEI & ALL Black people are then blamed. These stereotypes drove a Nixonion war on crime as a war on Black people—with real casualties. 👇🏾
NEW: Former Facebook diversity manager Barbara Furlow-Smiles who headed Facebook's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) programs has pleaded guilty to a kickback scheme where she raked in $4,000,000. How equitable of her! According to the Department of Justice, Furlow-Smiles used Facebook company credit cards to pay friends and family "for goods and services never provided to the company." The friends and family members would then send the money back to her. In a statement, US Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan said Furlow-Smiles "abused a position of a trust as a global diversity executive for Facebook to defraud the company of millions of dollars, ignoring the insidious consequences of undermining the importance of her DEI mission." Shocker!

This isn’t an accident. @JacksonStateU’s polling place is the largest in Mississippi, a state that also happens to have one of the largest Black populations in the nation. If our vote wasn’t a threat they wouldn’t try so hard to suppress it.
This is a blockade set up by Jackson State's campus the day before election day. #stopvoterintimidation

GOP election totals this century tell us @tatereeves will get between 460,000 and 470,000 votes today. Can @BrandonPresley get 475,000 votes? If he can, it’s going to be a long night.

Rep. Cockerham has ALWAYS fought for JSU and stands as one our strongest advocates in the state. This is not a political statement but a statement of fact based on having worked with her.
Rep. Angela Cockerham is a Jackson State graduate. Sis just switched her party from Democrat to Republican and endorsed Tate Reeves. She originally wrote the bill for JSU to receive an independent water system… mysteriously she hasn’t fought for it in the last 2 sessions.

Mississippi should meet JSU's security needs. xitter.cf/thomaskhudson/status/1…
The needs do remain - not just for JSU but for HBCUs in general - particularly those that are located in our urban centers.

I would like to congratulate @LaphonzaB on being sworn in as California’s new senator. Butler is a proud Mississippian and graduate of @JacksonStateU. It brings me joy to know that Mississippians are still representing all over the world.
