J.D. Vance’s xenophobic talking points and equivocation tactics did not emerge in a vacuum, but in the elite spaces of media and academia he claims to be an outsider of. Before “Hillbilly Elegy,” there was “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother.” https://lnkd.in/dhcmBpni

For a brief moment, newspapers across the country spread word of a “secret society” of “Negro fanatics” called the United Socialists. Police, journalists, and ordinary settlers didn’t know what to make of them. This is their story: https://lnkd.in/ev4v6W_c
Who were the United Socialists: The Black anarchist squatters you’ve never heard of

Coates is an atheist. Yet “The Message” repeatedly invokes language of the pulpit in the Black radical tradition in order to hold journalism — and his own success — up to the light. Read author and sociologist Victor Ray’s review here: https://lnkd.in/eTsdNXuj
In “The Message,” Ta-Nehisi Coates delivers a fiery secular sermon

Last night we were honored to accept our second Edward R. Murrow Award for Excellence in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the category of Small Digital Organizations. Book banning and censorship have taken center stage as lightning rod issues in communities nationwide, with much attention focused on schools and public libraries. However, prisons actually represent the largest source of book censorship in the country. To shed light on this issue, we partnered with PEN America to amplify the experiences of those who are too often silenced, with a series of personal essays by three, award-winning incarcerated writers: Tomas Keen, Kwaneta Harris, and Daniel Pirkel. We are honored to work with them and to share their stories. Thank you, Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) for this recognition! Be sure to read the three essays here: https://lnkd.in/eCS3w8sT
