Creativity, Art and the History of (in)equality

I'm not creative, but I have a vision for the world I want to help create.

Is history the change over time or the continuity in light of our ideas of progress?

We started to imagine a way in which the history of slavery could inform our goals as a university rather than sit within our archive as a university.

When I think about Twitter, I think about the way it has allowed academics to create community about things that are important to us.

There is a giant boulder of inequality in front of us, and it's very easy to believe that we cannot push it. But when we understand how much it took for it to get even halfway up the mountain, we become more forgiving with ourselves and others in the mistakes we make along the way.

The story of Freddie Gray did not begin in April of 2015, it began in 1864 in the state of Maryland with the struggle against slavery.

Twitter is an effective way of taking the temperature of a lot educators at the same time.
