Great time to remind everyone that two of the architects of critical race theory are actual geniuses and everyone should read the late, great Derrick Bell's "Faces At the Bottom of the Well" & Patricia J. Williams' "The Alchemy of Race and Rights"

If you're looking for a light summer read, I recommend Max Weber's "The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism" Written in Germany in 1904 he argues that the Calvinism those genocidal "pilgrims" practiced laid the psychological groundwork for the development of capitalism

@willmasonmusic I sat next to Toni Morrison at the Village Vanguard for Betty Carter, no one seemed to clock her. Saw Denzel at the Iridium for Ahmad Jamal. Remember seeing Ethan Hawke in Harlem @ Grant’s Tomb for Art Blakey
