Many book clubs meet online anyway. Why not spend some reading/thinking time together? Order these from ⁦@SankofaDC⁩ . Let’s chat. What do you think? Delany or Du Bois first? ⁦@DWill5⁩ on Toni Cade? Valethia Watkins on Ida Wells? #JailbreakTheBlackUniversity pic.twitter.com/jzzP24PEhO

Narrating intellectual histories and genealogies in Africana require familiarity with living communities as well as traces found in archives. Much of our best thinking work was/is done in study and dialogue. Maybe this moment can help spread and renew that practice. pic.twitter.com/7s5KqFGDF7

By forcing us to stay home, Rona is expanding the time we have to read and make connections. Found out something I didn’t know (or at the very least don’t think I knew) about the Pan-Africanist Jamaican Robert Campbell and @neaToday ⁦@ghsnea1⁩ while reading something else. pic.twitter.com/T0zjJprgxp

Two quick minutes on the great artist Charles Wilbert White, with places we can go to learn about him. This was/is Kerry James Marshall’s man. Connections are important. Like Marshall and so many other giants, a true Jegna and creator of Oriki. #JailbreakTheBlackUniversity pic.twitter.com/k2LcUIwZDL

Some know Charles Hamilton Houston as first African American editor of the Harvard Law Review. Or as the Jegna who trained Thurgood Marshall. He was, foremost, a strong link in a long Black intellectual genealogy that preceded and followed him. #JailbreakTheBlackUniversity pic.twitter.com/UN6cqmht2k

52 years ago, #MartinLutherKing was assassinated. Let’s take 2 minutes to mention some of the places and people who shaped him and who he shaped, and some sources to study his work and enduring meaning. As Vincent Harding says, he’s an inconvenient hero. https://t.co/xsv1Q7s5Lv pic.twitter.com/gQzEgDFLq9

2 minutes on #GwendolynBrooks during #NationalPoetryMonth . Good for mind & soul to read aloud, especially poetry.
