Who’s In and Who’s Out at the Naval Academy’s Library?
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office resulted in a purge of books critical of racism but preserved volumes defending white power.

Brave Humanism: Black Women Rewriting the Human in the Age of Jane Crow
Recovers Jane Crow–era Black women’s writing as a challenge to the white supremacist and patriarchal logics of Western humanism that underwrote de jure segregation.
So excited to re-find this lovely community. Forgive me for launching with a shameless self-plug, but my new book is now available for pre-orders (use discount code GODFREY for 30% off). Many thanks to my people who've seen me through this project. We need our people around us more now than ever.
