And as the current administration tries to take us backwards, we can learn from those that fought against these policies and practices in the past to continue their resistance today. | This, paired with our growing skepticism of AI and how hard it is to discern what’s real or not on the internet, is why I believe remembering is becoming the new trend of the year. Brands are highlighting their archives, more people are investing in products that help them honor their lives, and more organizations are forming to be stewards of the stories that matter most. I think this practice can help power our response to the current climate. | Today’s newsletter offers a reflection on the role of remembering by well-loved Black scholars, and resources worth reviewing to help contextualize the violence weaponized by ICE. It’s a good entry point for why my annual 28 Days of Black History series always feels right on time each year, regardless of current events. It starts this Sunday with a story from the 1800s that could have been written yesterday. I hope you read along with us |
