- "'Kinder, Gentler Cages Are Still Cages': How Prison Abolitionists Are Working Towards a Less Carceral Future." Jessica Moulite, Theroot.com. [3:56]
Last summer’s racial reckoning was the first time many people in the
United States ever heard of concepts like prison abolition and defund
the police. In fact, there was a spike in online searches for the phrase
“prison abolition” in early June 2020, according to Google Trends.And
after President Biden issued four executive orders on Jan. 26, 2021—one
of which specifically designed to end the use of privately operated
prisons—many critics of the measure felt it did not go far enough,
including prison abolitionist, Kim Wilson, Ph.D. March 19, 2021.

Wilson, Ph.D., is the living embodiment of “I’m not new to this, I’m
true to this.” The co-host and producer of the Beyond Prisons podcast’s
commitment to prison abolition goes well beyond her academic and media
work.“I have two sons who are currently serving life in prison without
the possibility of parole. So this is something that I live,” said Dr.
Wilson. “This is my life, every single day.” March 18, 2021.

- "Tamara Lanier’s Fight to Reclaim Her History Could Be Any One of Ours." Vanessa
K. De Luca, Medium.com. Imagine if you learned that photographs of your
enslaved ancestors had been rediscovered in a museum at Harvard. Then
imagine how you would feel if someone told you that you have no right to
those photographs. Such is the plight of Tamara Lanier, who has taken
on the Ivy League behemoth to secure the rights to the photos, which
languished in a drawer out of sight and away from the public eye for
years. The daguerreotypes depict women and men, breasts and genitalia
exposed, their haunting stares a riveting testament to the degradation
our ancestors endured during slavery’s shameful reign. February 3, 2021.

Rose Marie, Medium.com. ‘Do you know how to read?’ In the time of
coronavirus, I spend a lot of time sitting around with the friends in my
quarantine circle trading stories about our lives before the pandemic.
Recently, our conversation turned to the worst dates we’d ever been on,
and as I relayed one of my dating failures, I shared a racially charged
comment one suiter made on a first date. January 24, 2021.

- "Woman fights Harvard over rights to nude SC images of her enslaved ancestors." Jennifer
Berry Hawes, Postandcourier.com. What on earth were these? Nothing in
the drawer explained what they’d discovered. Only small, handwritten
labels affixed to each offered clues: “Fassena (carpenter), Mandingo,
plantation of Col. Wade Hampton, near Columbia, S.C.” “Jack (driver),
Guinea, plantation of B.F. Taylor, Esq., Columbia, S.C.” “Jem, Gullah,
belonging to F.W. Green, Esq.” One of the researchers rushed downstairs
to summon their colleagues. The discovery sent Reichlin and others on a
quest to solve the disturbing mystery. It continues today, 45 years
later. But Harvard historians weren’t the only ones hunting for clues.
In 2019, a woman named Tamara Lanier sued the university for possession
of the daguerreotypes. Based on her own research, she claimed to be a
descendant of two people captured in them. February 1, 2021.

slavery was the horrific, violent foundation upon which this country was
built. In several states with GOP leadership, legislation is being
