BLACK STUDIES ON 135TH STREET is out today! My contribution, “Following Schomburg’s Example,” is about amplifying decency.

One way media can fight back against male violence:

If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.

At the Boston Youth Opportunity Fair tabling for @brownspromise.bsky.social's statewide youth survey.
