  1. It's hard to value myself when the identites important to me have been under fire. But that makes it even more important for me to stand out and embrace my existence, for when someone comes along who is scared like me. Thank you

  2. Lifelong activist, organizer and educator Denise Oliver-Vélez has died at the age of 78.

    She was a central figure in the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s and was the first woman elected to the Young Lords Central Committee, a radical Puerto Rican human rights group modeled on the Black Panther Party, which Oliver-Vélez was also a member of. She later became the first Black female program director in public radio and taught at SUNY New Paltz.
