This Black History Month, I wrote about how different generations of freedom fighters have engaged with the Constitution & how their legacies can help us form a more plural democracy.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva came from behind to win Brazil’s runoff election, halting a right-wing wave sweeping Latin America and defying predictions that the 80-year-old political veteran had finally reached the end of his extraordinary career. bloom.bg/4BsvV24

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.
I will not be silenced.

America’s longest-running paternity dispute has seemingly come to an end: Thomas Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hemings, his enslaved chambermaid, and the Smithsonian has the DNA to prove it. Richard Kurin, a 50-year veteran of the institution, launched a top-secret study of the question in 2011. Now Jefferson’s entire genome has been sequenced, and compared with those of Hemings’s descendants. A set of newly confirmed Jefferson-Hemings descendants includes Margot Kossmann Williams, a biologist at Ohio State University, and her maternal grandmother, Dorothy McKnight. Julian Lucas talks to Williams and her mother, visiting pivotal sites in the lives of their ancestors. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

Northwestern University is reportedly shuttering its 80-year-old Program of African Studies, laying off staff and keeping students in the dark
It is the "first formal academic program focused on Africa in the United States."

Jason Arday has been found dead. This is deeply tragic and so sad.
All of this rabid online chatter. Using this man’s face for all sorts to gain points, make money, get clicks etc etc. None of it worth it in the end. RIP 🖤
