Great speaking w/ Tim Monroe on his "What I Really Want To Talk About" podcast. I talked about #JamesWeldonJohnson: poet, journalist, songwriter, diplomat, etc., including #NAACP leader during the #RedSummer of 1919 and key figure in the #HarlemRenaissance.

Channel’n ancestors’ desires for freedom & prosperity; think’n about #RedSummer battles they lost. VRA gutted, Affirmative Action reversed + Harris losing POTUS battle, too. We lost battles—NOT freedom war.
Me stepping into the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth like Beyoncé.
