When told to stop agitating for freedom, an antebellum poet published a defiant response. Khari Wendell McClelland set this poem to music, updating its second verse & carrying its protest into our present day. The three photos are from @RecTheMonument. artandtheology.org/2024/02/0…

What passes for a slavery museum In Richmond, Virginia… in the bottom of a train station by the bathrooms, foam boards falling off the wall. Last I heard someone got $11 million dollars, where is it?

For years I’ve been writing about @enrichmond’s takeover of historic Black cemeteries in RVA. The nonprofit has tanked, taking hundreds of thousands of $$$ with it, but there’s more to be said about its duplicity—and the complicity of its gov’t backers. medium.com/@bxpnyc/the-enric…

Turns out when they say wildfires they actually mean only FLOODS caused by wildfires, but you have to find that out after the fact. And it turns out that they don’t think “fear of death” is a valid reason to honor their insurance or refund policies on their website either.

@Airbnb you’ve lost a customer and clearly put money over the health and safety of your customers and lie about what you offer on your website. I’m disgusted by your greed and dishonesty.

I’ve tried working with them to make this right and they not only lie about their insurance but they will hang up on you when you bring up that they say it covers this exact thing. They told me that they get to keep my money for a product they couldn’t deliver.

Replying to @Airbnb
@airbnb falsely advertises their insurance policy. Our rental was covered in smoke from nearby wildfire, we couldn’t breath, my partner has asthma, her life was at risk, we had to leave as soon as we arrived. We paid for insurance that said it covered wildfires, but they lied.

For nearly four centuries this 1,200 acres of land on the Pamunkey River in Virginia has been the last sovereign territory of the Pamunkey Tribe, but due to the man made disaster of Climate Change and sea level rise that land will be underwater by the end of the century.

Tsenacommacah is the indigenous name for the land we now know as Virginia, we worked with a team of amazing Pamunkey artists to celebrate that history and acknowledge that we are all standing on native land. On display at Libby Hill throughout November.
