Frederick Douglass was the most photographed man of his era. Can only imagine how proud he would be to know his young descendants were on film reading his words.

Jim’s courage and persistence helped change America for the better. And so did every American who marched, organized, stood up, came out—or changed their own heart because they love someone who did. Happy anniversary, everybody.

Teachers who are beginning the work of abolitionist teaching need to ensure you are amplifying student voice and not making yours louder. Teach them how to think freely. Don’t tell them what to think.

Teacher prep and admin prep courses need to do: 1) tell teachers to stop saying "low kids" 2) check the required readings--do they represent diverse perspectives, promote cultural responsiveness? 3) require pre-service teachers to examine their bias and privilege.

Haven't heard about #JuneteenthDay until this year? You are not alone, and that's a problem.
What is taught in school shapes our worldview. What is NOT taught in school can negate the history, culture and value of our own neighbors.

“Stand up. Take action. Hold friends, family and loved ones accountable for their hatred and bigotry. Partner where you've never partnered before. Give where you've never given before. And most importantly, love where you've never loved before.” #Cohort3

There is no good reason why cops should be in schools more than counselors. If the choice is between having one or the other, it should always be counselor. Cops in schools typically react to a problem; counselors prevent them from happening. – at Chicago, IL

Kids have the ability to state the obvious. “His skin is darker/he’s a human/why wouldn’t people be kind to him?” I will fight everyday for my 4 year old to keep thinking this way and saying these things out loud. Engage them NOW! #BlackLivesMatter #letsgo @cfocusedmn

Please watch. Take a few minutes. Reflect. Then ACT. Thank you @Clarence_Bethea for this. #powerful
Must Watch: I’m a father and a husband. I’m a friend and a brother. I love basketball and cheese. I love to read and binge watch law & order. I want you to know all of this before you call the cops. #Powerful #GeorgeFloyd
