"Collaboration is too bland a word for what Abioto accomplishes—she is writing into the canon of our existence, of the very realness of those of African descent, here, now." - @blkunic0rn about Intisar Abioto @blackportlander

ANNOUNCEMENT: Yesterday, I testified to the Oregon Legislator in favor of a $750,000 funding request for George Park. That request was APPROVED. That brings total funds raised for the park to $4,050,000!

“You can’t behold evil and then return and not speak on it.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates speaks about how an experience in Palestine illuminated the connections between the African American and Palestinian liberation struggles, and the moral responsibility to speak out.
It's always a good time to share this epic photo. Has been my facebook header for years. Gratitude to photographer Susan Ross, always.

A new movie covers the German colonizers who massacred Herero and Nama people in Namibia, using torture tactics later deployed in the Holocaust.
“Measures of Men” stars Herero actor Girley Jazama. She talked with AJ+ about her goal “to give a voice to my ancestors.”
