Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

The biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action over the past 60 years have been white women. That remains unchanged.
*Currently* most elite schools give a bump to white men, whose grades and scores are now consistency outpaced by women. They'll still get affirmative action too.

His name is #RalphYarl— a 16 y/o who went to the wrong address to pick up his siblings.
He was shot in the head by a white man who didn’t want him on his property. He shot him a 2nd time for emphasis.
Ralph is fighting for his life. This man must be arrested. We are on our way.

Congrats to the new champs, @LSUwbkb! They earned it, and I have a feeling we’ll be seeing a lot more from them in the years ahead.
