So much of Black History Month gets flattened into trivia about a few iconic figures. But as Jarvis Givens reminds us on Code Switch, its origins were far more radical: a project to reclaim histories that were ignored or suppressed. A good prompt to rethink how we engage this month.

Yesterday's GAPS #PostcolonialStudies conference ended with a most moving, artfully delivered #poetry reading by #SouthAfricanPoet & scholar Uhuru Portia Phalafala from her epic poem "Mine Mine Mine" on the intergenerational trauma of miners & their families

#BlackStudies

Another great panel at the GAPS #conference heard Cherise Fung talk about silence & agency of Asian women in care, Tola Ositelu on meritocracy in 3 #memoirs by Black British women, and Dorit Neumann on Danaé Wellington's poem "The blue jeans asks her"

The Guardian has published the most recent letter against the censorship of intersectionality and Black feminism in the AP African American Studies course by College Board. Please distribute and sign on!

"[T]he worst thing that happened to Black history during #BlackHistoryMonth was not Ron DeSantis banning critical concepts and approaches—it was the College Board revising its new #AfricanAmericanStudies curriculum to meet all of his demands. But now scholars in #BlackHistory, #BlackStudies and related fields are fighting back. #KimberléCrenshaw will explain. She founded the #AfricanAmericanPolicyForum."

Hey folks. Please have a look at this new letter to College Board by African American Studies scholars from across the country. It's a clear statement against the censored African American Studies AP course with a list of actionable demands.

Hey friends. Please read this open letter that I signed onto. It's a collective statement by college and university faculty from across the US who teach African American Studies in defense of the Advanced Placement (AP) African American Studies course that was blocked/censored in Florida.
