All y'all saying back in the day all the protestors were nonviolent might want to read past p. 1 to the part about the contingent throwing bricks + bottles and wielding knives, which Bham authorities used to help justify the dogs + hoses
Looks like there's been a change in attitude

Important thread on student protest then and now
Important thread on student protest then and now
My heart breaks tonight, as it has many times recently. The actions of administrators at so many institutions (e.g., Emory, Columbia, & UT Austin) confirm what so many of us already knew: universities lack the courage to do hard things in hard moments. This is our real crisis.
Dear university leaders, using excessive force against nonviolent student protestors makes you look villainous and them look heroic. You might want to choose more carefully between the wrong, and right, side of history. Signed, your friend from Birmingham.
In class w students working on projects, while I watch clampdowns on campus protests across the US. Most students I know are so smart + engaged, and I try to make space for them to think, ask questions, to mess up. It's not that hard. And you don't have to bring in horses.
I left today's class open as a work day, not thinking many students would attend. But they did, even though some had already turned in their essays. They came to work on other projects bc they said they like my classroom vibe. I should probably retire on this high point.
The rhythm of this semester's end: grade one thing, check all social media hoping for relief, then repeat for the next few days.
My husband just asked me to put on Beyoncé’s Cowboy Curtis record, which I wish actually existed.
Thank y’all for doing the work.
Thank y’all for doing the work.
The St. Pete Youth Farm is awesome!
So a student was doing a project that involved interviewing a professional in her area of interest. She sent questions via email. The professional responded to the questions via Chat GP. Seriously.
Excited about the #OAH24 panel on "Florida and Academic Freedom." I will join friends @civilrights_lit & @dariusjyoung to discuss the myriad issues we face teaching uncomfortable truths in a hostile atmosphere. Drop in Saturday at 3:30 because today's FL is tomorrow's USA.
GA/North FL friends: come see me in Valdosta on Th 4/18 for a #LearningFromBirmingham talk
That Trumpy Bible reminds me of the time my mom asked: when the Pilgrims came to the US, did everyone speak English or had the Bible been written yet? (Yes, this is a true story.)
This is so sad. And angering.
Educators/academics: what is your favorite literary anthology? Why? Can be old or new, general or topical. I’m planning a course around the topic and want a sense of what colleagues like.
Yes, indeed.
Good morning. Time to wake up.
Anyone here ever used a Wikipedia editing assignment in a college classroom? I have some questions. Thanks!

@Deggans Thanks! Eric, you know the best people. Wonderful to meet you Julie @civilrights_lit !

I'm learnin how to write all over again. Personal writing hard as shit.
@civilrights_lit @Deggans I have extreme FOMO about this festival! Also excited to read your book.
@BellCV you should meet Julie, an awesome academic and expert on civil rights literature who lives in our area. If I ever get it together, maybe I'll broker a brunch with us all. But until then, this online intro will have to do...
@Deggans Wish I could go! I wrote about Micheaux’s Within Our Gates in the Mary Turner book. Love his work.
Check this: Awesome story...
Oscar Micheaux is a legend. But his name and fandom — including Spike Lee and the late John Singleton — are better known than his groundbreaking films. @FilmForumNYC’s festival opening Friday, May 3 aims to fix that. The lineup is unprecedented. indiewire.com/features/gener…
Have yall seen this?
Cornel West going nuclear on Piers Morgan wasn't on my bingo card tonight, but I'm glad I was here it. Cenk Uyguralso unloads later on Piers too. What a show.😂
I am one of the DEI criminals who lost his job due to this purge by state government (& UNF leadership, which while not punitive, was frustratingly passive & uncreative). I had my dream job as Director of the Interfaith Center. My crime? Supporting students of diverse identities
Four different centers on campus that were all under the umbrella of UNF's Office of Diversity and Inclusion are now closed: The LGBTQ+ Center, Interfaith Center, Women’s Center and Intercultural Center. news4jax.com/news/local/202…
Also I want protestors to show by act, respect, and deference they understand who will be assigned to clean up after the demonstrations. Bring a critical attention to lessons from the past, have a plan, act with accord and intent. Protest includes the courage of consequence.
@civilrights_lit It's a thing! And, NYC police budget has more money than G-d. They also have a lot of different outfits. Not kidding. Custom sportswear with name tags and "Chief" this and that emblazoned. Just another dimension of NYPD's Will-to-Peacockery.
They do not need this number of police. They are just showing off their equipment and number of personnel. Does anyone have an idea how much this will cost in overtime$$?
CNN's @miguelmarquez: "I've covered lots of this sort of stuff around the world, and i've never seen this many police moving into one area."
