Born in 1895 to an enslaved woman, his father was murdered by the KKK when he was not even a year old. He decided he wanted to write classical music and he worked, starved, and suffered for his art.

Ultimately, this is such a passion project for me. Emily was the first poet I ever set, and poem-for-poem the one I've set the most. I frequently call her "girliepop" in casual conversation. And I know it's mild-to-moderately unhinged, but in many ways, I genuinely think of her as a friend.

One of the people I talked to that rebuilds homes using volunteers said they outsource things like sheetrock because they are that fast and good at it.

But it's REALLY important to note how exploitive that industry can be of them. Trump is making it easier to stiff these people for their labor
Trump’s immigration and tariff policies complicate disaster response ahead of hurricane season
Immigrants are disproportionately employed in the construction industry.
