Monica D. Styles @monicadstyles.bsky.social · 21d

Thank you @mattisteinitz.bsky.social for giving a fantastic talk yesterday in my Black Lives in Latin America Through Literature and Film course yesterday on your work on Black Power and soul music. I think your work interviewing musical artists and activists fit great with the theme of the course!

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.
