Solution to the #ClimateCrisis using #SolarPanels for #farming: #Agrivoltaics

On the first day of Black History Month, the College Board announced it was removing dozens of intersectional, queer, and BLM-supporting Black authors from its AP African American Studies course. What are they so afraid of?
