    2. "'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. https://www.theroot.com/kinder-gentler-cages-are-still-cages-how-prison-aboli-1846505239
    3. "'Rearranging the Deck Chairs on the Titanic': Why This Abolitionist Believes Biden's Executive Order on Private Prisons Isn't the Progressive Measure He Thinks It Is." Jessica Moulite, Theroot.com. [5:11] Kim 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. https://www.theroot.com/rearranging-the-deck-chairs-on-the-titanic-why-this-ab-1846502613

  1. "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.

  2. "The 10 Most Infuriating Things People Have Said to Me as a Black Woman." Sondra 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.

  3. "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. https://www.postandcourier.com/columbia/woman-fights-harvard-over-rights-to-nude-sc-images-of-her-enslaved-ancestors/article_72ddeef0-45e8-11eb-a13a-6b9662e76945.html
  4. "GOP-Led States Still Mad About The 1619 Project, Considering Legislation to Dictate How Slavery Is Taught." Joe Jurado, Theroot.com. It’s Thursday, so you know what that means: Another round of Republicans being unwilling to face the fact that slavery was the horrific, violent foundation upon which this country was built. In several states with GOP leadership, legislation is being considered to ensure that the brutal reality of slavery isn’t taught in schools.
