The exhibition, designed by UCR Arts’ Grace Saunders, tells the story of Emmett Till leaving Chicago to visit his Uncle Moses Wright’s farm for the summer in 1955, his murder, his funeral, the trial, the Civil Rights movement, up to President Joe Biden’s signing of the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act on March 29, 2022. “She [Mamie Till] ignited the modern Civil Rights movement.”

“We have the opportunity to bring somebody in to give representation to the Native American students we have on campus, and we dropped the ball,” Professor Arturo Villareal told San José Spotlight. He teaches ethnic studies at Evergreen Valley College.

The spirit of “a Black guy did it” lived on long after Chuck Stuart. From Susan Smith, the white South Carolina woman who drove her two kids into a lake, to the Florida case of Crosley Green, a Black grandfather who was briefly freed by a judge who agreed his three decades behind bars was a racial hoax, white suspects have sought to use stereotypes about Black criminality to fool the public. The employment of this tired trope goes beyond crime and punishment, especially in an America soaking in an ugly backlash against a record of uneven progress on diversity in the six decades since the passage of the Civil Rights Act.

#CRTisHistory: It’s not an accident that in the same news week that ultimately brings us the resignation of Claudine Gay, Nikki Haley was on tape being a slavery denier. I mean, this is the debate we’re having in this country about whether you can actually be honest about the country in all of its complexity. No one is saying that is the whole story, that all the terrible things that happened in the past are the only thing that matters. But the truth is that in half the states — let me repeat — you can’t teach that. And the way things are going now, you won’t be able to teach it at private universities, either- Khalil Gibran Muhammad

#GenocideJoeKnows: Ackman, who accused Gay of antisemitism and plagiarism, was a major player in what increasingly became a rightwing campaign against the Harvard president – who said many of the attacks against her were “fueled by racial animus”.

In the past month alone, the 57-year-old has tweeted about Gay, Harvard, or both, more than 100 times to his 1 million followers. On Tuesday, he topped that with a rambling 4,000-word X post about “#racism against white people”; universities’ efforts to increase diversity; and accusations that student groups were “supporting terrorism”.

Khalil Gibran Muhammed- the serial denial of #slavery, that is absolutely responsible for how this country came to be an economic juggernaut in the 19th century because of #cotton exports, which is not a secret. It is a simple fact. It was not just a Southern problem. It was embedded in both Northern institutions, in the #financial sector, as well as in the larger European context. So, to deny slavery in 2024, to essentially say, “#Winkwinknodnod, it’s not that important. Let’s move on,” is precisely the mirror inverse of what Claudine Gay and those other presidents were being accused of, of somehow denying the saliency of antisemitism. But that actually isn’t true.
This is why fascism is such a threat in this moment, because it does not depend on facts. It is only about misinformation and #propaganda and catering to people’s fears.

#CRTisHistory: Stanford President Marc Tessier-Lavigne faced more serious accusations of academic misconduct involving data manipulation. A formal investigation was announced in November of 2022, and he was forced to resign in July of 2023. So, how many articles did the Times write about the topic prior to his resignation? Zero. And zero is probably the right number, because this is not national news until an actual resignation. But that is not the standard being applied to Gay, because the campaign is not about academic misconduct…

He has done this with discussions of race (labeling it Critical Race Theory) and gender (accusing those allowing discussion of gender in schools to be “groomers”) in classrooms. He saw the opportunity to leverage anti-semitic student protests as part of his broader attack on higher education.
