Sharing recommendations from my colleagues - students, and faculty for #blackhistorymonth
Some cool recs here, including the book 'The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar' by Robin Means Coleman and Mark H. Harris. Adding to 'must reads.'
“For many, #BlackHistoryMonth is a time for learning, sharing, and community. @GeorgeMasonU asked members of the #MasonNation to share their recommendations for what to read, watch, listen to, and experience this February and beyond! Discover more ⬇️! https://t.co/ypmDVXi7zX”
I can't stop looking at this beautiful soul's work. You learn so much about a person through their lens on the world. Tyre Nichol's photos, his take on the world, his gentleness, and the beauty he captured with his lens are breathtaking and heartbreaking. I will not watch the video but, instead, enjoy this beauty.

“At least 12 men knew what a shitty man Michael Haight was, that he was abusive, that he had a gun, that he was capable of hurting or killing his family. Maybe my math is off. Maybe fewer men knew. Maybe more did.”
Read this post by @gabrielleblair she captures the rage many of us feel.

Dr. Erika López Prater showed a Painting of the Prophet Muhammad to her global art history class and lost her job.
The painting is in one of the earliest Islamic illustrated histories of the world, “A Compendium of Chronicles,” written during the 14th century by Rashid-al-Din (1247-1318).
The painting shows a winged and crowned Angel Gabriel pointing at the Prophet Muhammad and delivering to him the first Quranic revelation.

A perfect response from Gisele Fetterman and a wonderful example of conscious consumerism.
"You’ve got to invest in the world, you’ve got to read, you’ve got to go to art galleries, you’ve got to find out the names of plants. You’ve got to start to love the world and know about the whole genius of the human race. We’re amazing people."
