“No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.” ~ Assata Shakur ❤️💚🖤

#OnThisDay in 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, TX to read Order No. 3, which affirmed the end of slavery in the states of the former Confederacy. This momentous occasion has been celebrated as #Juneteenth — a combination of “June” & “19th” — for over 150 years.

#InternationalWomensDay (IWD) was founded by working-class women who staunchly opposed war and fought for labor rights, peace, and equality. Rooted in the anti-war & socialist movements of the early 20th century, IWD emerged as a day to challenge oppression and demand justice. 🧵

📚 Needless to say, any students expelled from Barnard, Columbia, or anywhere else are welcome at Abolition School. We train intellectuals to disrupt the status quo, not uphold it. Come study somewhere that matters! 📚
