Despite all of the threats and nasty messages I have received, Iโ€™ve actually received more notes of support and solidarity.

So I just wanted to take a moment amidst a hectic time to thank everyone who has reached out.

I donโ€™t know when I will have the time to reply to everyone, but I intend to.

Josh Myers and Crystal Sanders on the Black liberal arts tradition. Canโ€™t begin to convey how much I needed that conversation.

And loving that photo of Beverly Guy-Sheftall at Spelman circa 1978.
