I had "African African American Studies" when I first came to #UniversityPark. Professor Bernard Bell.

Look at that $#!T man! He was a #superstar I shit you not. The real m*ther f'n deal right there. So much respect for that guy. Loved him. He taght me a lot. I think he may have taught me how, moreover, why to be a man.
I think he knew the guy... civil disobedience at the bridge. congressman.
I've emailed him. He doesn't give a shit. He did thouh. Maybe he did hear what I said, ya know? I only told him the truth. He had a profound impact on my understanding of the #AfricanAmercian condition, but what it means to stand for something; to stand up for something and be prepared to die in doing so.
I guess I'm an asshole for never going across campuss, and living here all these years, and all these really fantastic people being just over there. And they're real people, just like you and me. He'd probably be delighted to see me. Sadly, and this is why i won't continue... ii mean, he was old when he was my professor in 1995. That's all i'm gonna say about that.

Some places in the USA are trying to minimize how much African-American Studies appears on school curriculums, but not San Francisco.
@SFPublicPress reports on how a half dozen high schools in the Bay Area will offer the subject as an Advanced Placement course in the upcoming school year, and why educators are enthusiastic about this.

Join us in celebrating #IoFAuthor Raven Simone Maragh-Lloyd! Raven’s book Black Networked Resistance: Strategic Rearticulations in the Digital Age is available from #UCPress. It would make a great addition to reading lists in #BlackStudies #MediaStudies and #TechnologyStudies.
#NewBookAlert #AfricanAmericanStudies #DigitalStudies #BlackHistory #AmReading #CiteBlackWomen #ReadUP
Black Networked Resistance explores the creative range of Black digital users and their responses to varying forms of oppression, utilizing cultural, communicative, political, and technological threads both on and offline. Raven Maragh-Lloyd demonstrates how Black users strategically rearticulate their responses to oppression in ways that highlight Black publics’ historically rich traditions and reveal the shifting nature of both dominance and resistance, particularly in the digital age.
