When using hashtags, if you capitalize every new word Blind twitter users can actually hear the message you're saying.
So, instead of #blacklivesmatter (which still rocks but is a mm less accessible)
But #BlackLivesMatter allows the message to be accessible!
Even on instagram!

White educators: "I love my students" is no substitute for racial justice, and if we don't educate about and act for racial justice--not just racial "diversity," but racial JUSTICE--we don't, in point of fact, love our students.

Please read happy Black books too. We don't just write about slavery and colonialism. Consume Black history and art about anything. It all helps to decenter whiteness

Or
Hereās a thought
Promote books by authors of color.
Just a thought.
Barnes & Noble Fifth Avenue to launch sales of classic novels with new covers promoting diversity @amNewYork pwne.ws/2GU1jN2

On this day, five years ago, I typed up my letter of resignation because I was feeling defeated and didnāt believe the work I was doing mattered. I prayed on my decision and later that night this post featured on Humans of NY went viral. Nothing beats prayers.

Just saw Just Mercy. Sheesh. Jamie Foxx is really something. Also, protect Bryan Stevenson at all cost.

You CAN be the fun teacher, or the nice teacher, or the teacher that all the kids like, and still have high expectations of them to follow the rules. It IS possible. ā at Chicago, IL

āItās hard for me to say that. How about I give you a nickname?ā
No.
Ask your students how to pronounce their name correctly, practice it as much as you need to, then say it correctly. ā at Chicago, IL

Thanks to @nenagerman and the whole #CARBTE committee for asking #THEBOOKCHAT to join the antiracism pop-up sessions at #NCTE19. @JoelRGarza and I created this handout but ran out of copies. Check out a digital version here: drive.google.com/open?id=1rtā¦ Share with your colleagues!

Hereās an equation I can understand: Increase book access + improve reading attitudes = BETTER READING OUTCOMES š @jarredamato @ProjectLITComm #CEL19

āWeāre so steeped in white male authors, itās a really exciting time to be thinking about other books to teach in English classes.ā -@thommyorange #NCTE19
