“A #history professor who leads a course on genocide was instructed not to mention atrocities committed against Native Americans, according to several academy officials. The English department purged works by well-known Black authors, such as #ToniMorrison, #JamesBaldwin and #TaNehisiCoates, the officials said.”

This is worth #watching if you haven't seen it before. #JamesBaldwin is one of my fave #BlackAuthors & #CivilRights #activist - I have much respect for him, his writings & speeches/interviews. This #documentary #film #revisits the struggles of the 60s civil rights movement in USA. Appearances by #DrMartinLutherKingJr & #MalcolmX in this.
