In 2026, it will have been 500 years since the first kidnapped and enslaved Africans arrived in what is now the continental US.
They were the first to rebel against slavery, too. And they succeeded. #giftlink

Before 1619, there was 1526: The mystery of the first enslaved Africans in what became the United States
Nearly a hundred years before enslaved Africans arrived in Jamestown, the Spanish brought 100 slaves to a doomed settlement on the coast of what is now Georgia or South Carolina.

Amazing how society continually forces students, families, and educators to do more for their own schools than the government that’s supposed to run them.
It’s not just systems; it’s the actors who make bad policy happen.

Not as focused as I should be because I just got my hands on this edition of Grandpa Nello’s book and the prose is just so excellent, it’s hard to put down.
Also actually not sure I knew it was the first novel by a Black Caribbean writer ever published in England 😱

Let me shake the table:
When people have told me, "You've moved onto bigger and better things," I tell them, "No, I moved to something different and potentially as important."
The best professors have either extensive K-12 experience or enough humility to bridge the gap.
But power matters here.

(Also: while we are at it, can we eliminate the phrase “I’m leaving the classroom so I can impact more kids” from the discourse? Like, I get it, but let’s be honest: think about how that really sounds to those of us in the classroom.)

I honestly don’t think Americans understand how much their day to day lives depend on federal civil servants and now is the time for professional commentators to write op-eds explaining

I’m going to keep it real and hope I don’t get accused of overstating the issue; children’s liberation is the key to the future you want. The active, and often dismissed, oppression of children is near the root of what ails us as a nation.

This is massive. Despite not having a conventional workplace, these guys organized creatively and won against these massive gig companies. Solidarity forever.
