Over 7,000 workers at Daimler Truck were ready to strike, and the company folded. UAW workers won big, securing 25% pay increases, profit sharing for the first time, eliminating tiers, and more.

Daimler workers have taught us all a valuable lesson that the billionaires know…

Important thread from a student journalist at Emerson College in Boston

I’m so inspired by the student movement and so disappointed by the retaliation from institutions of higher education.

Not that they would want to return, but Columbia University and Barnard College should immediately reverse the suspension and eviction of its students who were wrongfully arrested and have the constitutional right to protest on campus! Period.

The way Glorilla pronounces Cuban makes me think she spent time with elder elders. That “ur” sound is also in the old Black southern way of saying “beautiful.”

'My ancestry is the history of me, and I’m very interested in that. I always come from the perspective of being a Black woman in America— that’s my story, at all times of my life.' RIP Faith Ringgold interviewmagazine.com/art/faith-ring…

Sitting in Judge Higginbotham’s class with Alvin Bragg 30 years ago, or better yet having met him 34 yrs ago cdnt have imagined he would be on the cover of The NY Times Magazine and I would have an article inside the same issue…time is surely something else…

Among the things I wish had made it into my profile of Suzan Lori Parks was my discussion of her mother’s Texas roots, the fact that a florist gave us roses, and her clever jokes about senses. And discussion of her excellent novel, Getting Mother’s Body. She contains multitudes!

Lift every voice ... to this day ... One of the hardest things I've ever played... I struggled... but I rocked that shit! Lol And still have my hymnal!! Page 477!!

Such an honor to write about Suzan Lori Parks, one of the great playwrights and artists of American history and she’s steadily producing new wonderful work.

Still so so proud of this issue.

There’s a book to be written about Black political and civic associations using the terms National and American to define their organizations during Jim Crow…
