PEN America's @caits_meissner talks with @WORTtalk host @AliMuldrow about prison writing and THE SENTENCES THAT CREATE US, a collection of writing by justice-involved people and “a book that will meet a writer anywhere in their journey.” bit.ly/3Ig9SzL

Racist slurs have always been about power, that is why it is convenient for people atop the racial hierarchy to pretend otherwise. There is no equivalent to the N-word that Black people can deploy against white people because of the history of white power in the US.

Throwback to the production of John Steinbeck's "Of Mice & Men" performed at Sing Sing .
Theatre is central to @RTA_ARTS program – focusing on collaborative projects in which each person shares responsibility for the group’s success.

Creativity, humanity & potential remain locked behind the walls of our prisons. Premiering tomorrow, UNLOCKED follows the stories of men & women changed by the @RTA_ARTS approach to justice, based on dignity rather than punishment.

This isn’t about a stock, this is about standing up against the forces of corruption, the agendas of evil men, and the @SEC_Enforcement not taking action. The only way we move forward is with a collective power behind the same beliefs. United we stand, divided we fall. #AMC

“Discussing school leadership in the absence of race is like building a house absent a foundation. While that house may stay upright for some time, it will be ill-prepared to withstand the strong winds of change,” writes TC’s @GoodenPhD in @ELmagazine. bit.ly/3mq3vj1

“Republicans are getting an increasing share of a decreasing population. About 80% of their voters are white. And white people, every single election since 1996, have been a smaller share of the electorate. The math is not on their side.” - @jelani9
