PSA: Folks in the US probably want to head over to their local #PBS (TV app, website, figure out the schedule) to watch their thing on Hazel Scott. https://www.pbs.org/video/the-disappearance-of-miss-scott-jk0j1y/ (also available with audio descriptions or ASL.)

If you don't know the name (or only remember Alicia Keys dropping her name at the Grammys), go fix that, because I promise that you all want to...

@jcolag We watched this show two nights ago. Very interesting. Also, towards the end it highlights what happens when later generations don't know the history of the warriors for justice who came before them and then demonize them for "not doing the work."

@fulanigirl Absolutely agreed. And we see that demonization so often, whether erasing people (almost always Black women) from movements or insisting that movements that didn't include everybody should get rolled back.
