They took $45 million from FEMA to build the Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp that flooded on day 1.

In North Carolina, they denied us more FEMA funds. Now we know why.

Posted on X from the Dept. of Homeland security for Alligator Alcatraz

How is this tolerated by a single democrat?

Trump’s America👇

Guys raging over a street sign for the Black Angels & my book that tells their story

This fury is born from a culture that fears truth, science, & Black history

I share this b/c I refuse to
let them erase these women again

Read abt the Black Angels who risked their lives caring for TB patients during a dreadful time in history: the pre-antibiotic age of the Great Depression in country entrenched in the horror of Jim Crow

And helped cure TB
And were forgotten

This viral AI generated amateur “historical” video is full of dangerous misinformation abt the Black Angels
For example, the nurses weren’t allowed to wear masks & they are no longer erased & so much more

Please stop believing these videos
Read the full story in my book

Virginia Allen, one of the last living Black Angels, on the street naming, TB & the cure

"It’s significant not only for Staten Island & the nurses that worked there, but for the world”

Read their story in my book: The Black Angels 📕

Meet Frank L.

He’s mad at my book & the street naming that honors the Black nurses who saved lives during the TB crisis

He calls it “woke DEI lies”

But this isn’t wokeness, it’s American history

I hoped my book would help the Black Angels be seen for their work during a dreadful time in history: the pre-antibiotic age of the Great Depression in country entrenched in the horror of Jim Crow

Yesterday it happened

Share their story

I had the honor of meeting Sen. Booker at an event

He knew about the Black Angels, their bravery, sacrifices & how they showed up despite the obstacles they faced

Yesterday he showed up for us in a similar way, reminding us we don’t have to live this way

I hope he inspires us to use our voices
