Did empathy come up? An important part of healthy masculinity (Ortland, etc.) that has gotten coded feminine and been obviously attacked by the Right. Curious if that has filtered down to students..

even though NCCU picks up the credit via Getty here, that photo was shot by Alexander Rivera, one of the few black news photographers working in the south at that time. NCCU holds his archive. Worked for the Pittsburgh Courier

The Voting Rights Act Is a Lesson in Overcoming Setbacks While the Voting Rights Act was undoubtedly a singular achievement, it represented the culmination of a long struggle.

In case you missed it yesterday, Allie Roberts Lopez and I wrote a hopeful story of democracy in action for @madebyhistory. Read if it you need to hear a little good news. Protect the VRA.
