I haven’t much felt like writing lately: everything I think about writing seems frivolous in light of the horrific murder of Tyre Nichols and multiple mass shootings in January. Meanwhile, governors like Glenn Youngkin here in Virginia and Ron DeSantis in Florida are using their power to literally whitewash history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I’m going to highlight a black historian I wrote about earlier, Mr. Ernest Crim III. <\/a>He focuses on what matters, digs out that history that Youngkin and his ilk want to bury, and also finds bright spots in the world like the new poet laureate of New York, nine-year-old Kayden Hern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You KNOW your timeline needs this to balance your exposure to trauma, so enjoy this story. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffe There are three things I love most about this story. Firstly, the way Kayden\u2019s grandma handled his curiosity. Secondly, how Kayden responded by actively engaging in poetry. Thirdly, I love how Governor Hochul reached out to him and kept her word. \ud83d\udcaf Who knows Kayden\u2019s family? I wanna send him some books! \ud83e\udd14 \ud83d\udea8Check my bio to order my NEW children\u2019s book and for educational resources (like my autobiography, K-5 course, speaking engagement info, petitions, reading recommendations, etc.) and consider becoming a Patron or IG Subscriber to support my advocacy and content. \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffe #blackhistory<\/a> #racism<\/a> #ushistory<\/a> #history<\/a> #worldhistory<\/a> #americanhistory<\/a> #whiteally<\/a> #africanamerican<\/a> #childrensbooks<\/a> #author<\/a> #blackauthors<\/a> #publicspeaker<\/a> #blackhistorymonth<\/a> #poet<\/a> #newyork<\/a> #georgefloyd<\/a> #educationalequity<\/a> #blacktiktok<\/a> #whiteallies<\/a> #fyp<\/a><\/p> \u266c original sound – Ernest Crim III<\/a> <\/section> <\/blockquote>
