The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
Michelle Alexander
#RonDeSantis proves Michelle Alexander right DeSantis may have never read but has probably banned Prof. Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. If he read the book, he knows & demonstrates: prisons are about social control, not merely punishment—controlling Black bodies 4 political ends👇🏾 https://t.co/yYC04Gv7Gq

Invisible Man
Ralph Ellison
Ralph Ellison’s brilliant novel describes a young Black man rendered an “Invisible Man” by the racist blindness of others. #DeSantis’ Florida is not satisfied with an invisible man, the state is dead set on rendering ALL Black people invisible—and dimming everybody’s humanity👇🏾 https://t.co/WA7zjq5XEc https://t.co/T3CuKSUDuL

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: A True Story About an American Slave - Complete and Unabridged
Frederick Douglass
@marcreiser @thatbondgrl The autobiography of Anne Frank has about as much to do with these #CRT bans as the autobiography of Frederick Douglass. Equally ridiculous and categorically dangerous. This ALL ABOUT putting truth on the defensive and giving hate the comparative advantage. SMH https://t.co/yiPj1wcTJE

The Red Record
Ida B. Wells
The vicious irrationality of the rise in #antiasianhatecrimes is just wrong—irrespective of the excuse or perpetrator. Ida B. Wells taught America with the Red Record in 1895, there are 1 million excuses for lynching and not 1 single justification. https://t.co/D3kO57w891 https://t.co/JyLqBik70F
