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

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.

"#Scandinavians in the upper Midwest, #AfricanAmericans clustered in the South and beyond, #MexicanAmericans in the Southwest, #Portuguese along the coast of New England, #Yemeni #immigrants and their descendants in Detroit, and #NativeAmericans living across a country that was once theirs.
“Much of what we see is a history of #immigration,” explain the authors, #AlbertSun, #JeffAdelson and #LarryBuchanan. The story accompanying the #map goes on to describe the ebbs and flows of the #migrant tide, including the surge at the turn of the 20th century and the current crackdown on #refugees, #asylumseekers and even naturalized citizens.
But zoom in on the map, and there’s a notable omission: #Jews. Hover over Manhattan, home to one of the largest #Jewish communities in the world, and you’ll find pockets where 20% or more of the residents are #Chinese, #PuertoRican, African American, #Dominican, #German and #Italian. Conspicuously, there is no heading for “Jewish.”

#US-born father, #CostaRica-born mother. Born in mixed-race neighborhood in #WashingtonDC. Moved to then all-#white #ChulaVista, #California. Moved to all-#Black #Gladeview/#Brownsville, #Miami, #Florida. Moved to almost all-#PuertoRican #ValleArribaHeights, #SanJuan, #PuertoRico. Moved to then almost all-white #Lauderhill, Florida. Joined the U.S. #Navy.
At 65, I've literally never known a sense of belonging anywhere, with anyone.
