It’s morally insane that in Tennessee they can pass laws to ban books, ban conversations about racism and bias in schools, ban drag shows, and even try to ban Black legislators they disagree with… but we can’t pass a ban on militarized guns from terrorizing our communities…
I heard @Booker4KY speak in an auditorium named after Mitch McConnell’s wife and say, “In the hood, we’re not about liberal or progressive, we are just trying to make it.” Here’s to hoping humanity can figure out how to make it and “stand together from the hood to the holler.”
“We helped build this country. We helped build this institution. We have every right to be here.” -Rebecca Hankins. Thank you @pontiac10, @Boss_Librarian, @raypun101, and @tkhodge19 for your insight and wisdom on today’s #ASERL library panel “Why Do I Stay? The DEI Perspective.”
Black people live in red states. Brown people live in red states. Queer people live in red states. Writing off the South means writing off some of the most diverse communities & fierce advocates in the nation & leaving those who will be most harmed these policies behind.
Such an important presentation and conversation led by @DanicaEWhite today about her research “Investigating the Library Experiences of Black Undergraduate Students.” #ALAAC22
“The need for change bulldozed a road down the center of my mind.” -Maya Angelou #RoeVsWade #ProChoiceIsProLife #ALAAC22

“Of the nearly 70 TRILLION dollars in global assets under 4 major asset classes, less than 1.3% is invested in firms owned by women, Black Americans, and other people of color.” - @Phil_Gaskin @KauffmanFDN #KIFE2022
Truly honored to present at the same conference as @Kaepernick7 and we both discussed the importance of libraries anchoring our communities! 🙌#LibLearnX @ALALibrary
thich nhat hanh has transitioned. the gratitude i feel for his life is more than words can express. this conversation between bell hooks and thây has been so present with me lately. them passing just over a month apart feels like a poem. lionsroar.com/bell-hooks-and…
My name is Charles Booker. I am a Black Kentuckian, a proud American, and I am running for United States Senate. I have support from every county in Kentucky - from the Hood to the Holler. Thousands of volunteers are organizing with me. We will beat Rand Paul. We will win.
I’m excited to be speaking about DEI and community engagement at #LibLearnX. I hope you can attend my session on Sunday, January 23 at 1:30 EST. alaliblearnx.org/learn @ALALibrary @ALAConferences
The hypocrisy is real! 😷
It’s incredible how passionately people don’t get along but manage to drive down the same road without constantly colliding.

On #PresidentsDay, it is important to recall that at least twelve U.S. presidents enslaved Black people, eight while in office. Two-thirds of the first 18 presidents collectively enslaved nearly 2,000 Black people. We know what largely built this nation, and it wasn’t freedom.
