Black Eye for America: How Critical Race Theory is Burning Down the House is a good starting point to help Americans understand what critical race theory is , where it came from, and why it is so destructive to our society. #NashvilleManifesto #AudreyHale #CovenantSchool #CRT #DEI Black Eye for America https://a.co/d/ehIsMiz

Hi LinkedIn. One of the stand-out highlights of the UK Black Business Show.  Ally ship, Black Media, Culture & Sports & Black in Legal. I know some of you may be sceptical about events like this in Britain and wonder why they are necessary. My answer. Events like this would not be necessary if we had a level playing field in Britain. The sponsors of the event can clearly see the need to support the event and other events like this and long may their support continue. #stevenbartlett being a key part of the event made it all the more special. Thank you, Steven. Facts. Despite a significant talent UK pool, there are no Black people in the top three executive roles at any FTSE 100 companies, analysis by the Green Park leadership consultancy. A separate analysis sponsored by Lloyds Banking Group shows huge levels of distrust between Black entrepreneurs and the banking sector and government. This issue goes back generations. It's multi-layered and needs another post to deep dive the details. The finance giant has committed to increasing Black representation of 0.6% at senior grades to at least 3% by 2025 in line with the UK labour market. On a positive note, the future is oh-so bright. #blackbusinessshow #ukblackbusiness #blackintheboardroom

#DigThisViz 😍 I always love Alice McKnight, MPH's work, but I'm really feeling this one because of 1) sophisticated black-and-white color scene; 2) historical tile maps (no Alaska or Hawaii until 1959); 3) that cool hashed-out square for "no data"; 4) animated gif showing the functionality (I sometimes use https://gifcap.dev/ for this); 5) timespan notation on the beeswarm; 6) tip of the hat to Varun Jain as Inspiration for his viz on military spend (https://lnkd.in/ej8HNuKG). #Tableau #TableauPublic #BlackHistory #HigherEd #DataViz #DataVisualization

What do you think would happen if ALL the black football players at the U of AL suddenly decided to transfer to a more "enlightened" State? Do you think the AL legislature just might consider adding another Black congressional district? Yeah, I kinda think they would. The Power is neither in our minds nor our bodies. The Power is in our souls, bonded with the spirit of the Ancestors. Real talk. It works. Just ask me. Just ask Coach Prime. When you enable young people, irrespective of ethnicity, to tap into the spirit of the American Enslaved, you unlock unlimited potential. I saw this in my Vietnamese students attending A&T. They were new to the country, but immediately tapped into the vibe at A&T and went on to slay dragons. I don't need to tell you about my black students, they are all studs and studettes. Coach Prime did the same thing at CU: brought in a bunch of carefully selected, talented players, got them to completely buy into his vision, and off they go. Don't know if he tapped into the Ancestors, but he certainly tapped into an HBCU and to me it's the same thing. I did the same thing at NCCU, A&T, Alcorn, and TN State and can do it wherever you have hungry, talented people willing to work. Ethnicity is irrelevant. I carry the Ancestors with me wherever I go and let THEM do the work.

Black students need Black educators. Our corps members remind us why representation matters in the classroom, and of the power of a teacher who understands your experiences and can model what’s possible. To kick off #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re honoring the Black educators who invest in our students and advocate for their success. Check out this video by Teach For America on why representation matters. We are so proud to see Teach For America North Carolina's very own Drew Strong (CPT '23) share his reflections in this video!  #onedaync #teachforamerica #blackeducators

As we end the first week of Black Business Month, here is a video that can contextualize how far we have come and the work that is still ahead.

In chapter 12, Johnny Speed’s virulent racism is exposed. Who is Johnny Speed well he transformed into J.Edgar Hoover, a man whose seeming sole purpose was the destruction of black people's unity. This chapter dives into the White mobbing of 1919, the leadership of Marcus Garvey, Stokley Carmichael, Fred Hampton, Bobby Seale, Huey Newton, Fred Shuttlesworth, Malcolm X, Alice Faye Williams, and COINTELPRO is exposed. What a powerful source of knowledge. https://lnkd.in/eR_WYwGU
