Afrofuturism is a path to a better tomorrow. I’m excited to be part of the first-ever UmojaCon in San Jose, CA! This moment is about more than creativityβ€”it’s about community. Please join us if you can.

One of the great pleasure of having Jaime Hernandez on campus is hearing and seeing his pleasure at our engagement with comics across the curriculum. #comics #msuenglish @cssorg.bsky.social @msumuseum.bsky.social

One highlight of Jaime Hernandez’s visit to Michigan State University was his visit to MSU Libraries Comics Art Collection. Our collection is the largest publicly accessible repository of comic books in the world.

I really appreciated the discussion in "A Decade of Black Erasure: Social Media since 2015" organized by @WalterdGreason. This was a lively discourse that highlighted the need for a space like ASALH to support #digital humanities and generative A.I. discussion
