I’m working on a grant for a #crossgenerational #colearning project involving #bipoc youth and I’m issuing the following challenge: Tell me about a time when you learned something new and exciting from a young, BIPOC, person or student. What was it? How did they teach you? #blacksinstem #stem #stemm #steam #blacksinscience #blackmasodon #physics #astrophysics #heliophysics #hamsci

"Jack Daniel’s stands as one of the most iconic American brands & most popular spirits in the world. Yet while the whiskey & its eponymous founder have become dominant names in American liquor lore, the person perhaps most responsible for its success—an enslaved man named Nathan “Nearest” Green, who taught Jack Daniel the art of whiskey distillation—went unacknowledged for more than 150 years".

Do you think the famous Albert #Einstein was a racist although he spoke out against US #discrimination blasting segregation as "a disease of white people"? OR although the espec. racist #Chinese observations in his Diaries (1922-1923) "are appalling, they shouldn't be surprising.They reveal, he wasn't immune from some of the #prejudices & stereotypes of his time. If we require our heroes to be saints, we won't have many ppl to admire"

Was Albert Einstein a Racist?

The great scientist was a radical egalitarian—but subject nonetheless to some of the biases of his time.

Attached: 4 images @[email protected] This is the post that blocked on c.im for being *about* racism. It's a really nice post, relatable. Ironically enough it's about how one can feel left out-- even when those making it happen might not be aware of what they are doing. This isn't the first time this kind of misguided block has occurred on this server. Check your friends and let them know, it's just not a place where this is welcome. (I reached out to the admin, no response.) #FediBlock #BlackMastodon
