The joy of finding threads that fit together. #Ideas can only come to fruition when they are given the opportunity to breathe and multiply.

"She had said part of what she had to say, but there were other words burning inside her. So I have to wonder, as she takes her place in the great beyond, was she supposed to say it all or just put the lights on so someone else might step from the wings and continue the dialogue."

in memorium for #LorraineHansberry (1930-1965) author of RAISIN IN THE SUN

Continuing my deep dive into #LorraineHansberry, noted #Queer #Black #Intellectual of the 50s and 60s. What a life she led. #RaisinInTheSun

"Men continue to misinterpret the second-rate status of women as implying a privileged status for themselves; heterosexuals think the same way about homosexuals; gentiles about Jews; whites about blacks; haves about have-nots."

Dead from cancer at the age of 34 in 1965, she was friends with #JamesBaldwin and sparred with the likes of #MalcolmX & #RFK

Good morning from #Philadelphia. It's the first day of #FarmersMarket SZN. Looking forward to buying some local #Germantown goods.

Today's #Lesson comes from #LorraineHansberry, the author of #RaisinInTheSun, who died in the pivotal year 1965. She produced an amazing body of work in a time when she had two systemic strikes against her as a #QueerBlackWoman.

As an intellectual she proved the equal match of two of the great men of the time #MalcolmX and #RFK
