Fascinating new article by the brilliant @angimaryssa.bsky.social. I always learn so much from Angi and it's a thrill to see her developing the field of Africana Legal Studies

It feels odd to uplift this given everything happening in the world, but in the spirit of celebrating when we can, I’m thrilled to share that my article “Prison Grievance Creep” is forthcoming in the Stanford Law Review. Thank you to everyone who generously provided feedback!

Wondering how to spend your Friday night free time while not shopping, eating out, or scrolling Facebook? Check out this amazing article by @angimaryssa.bsky.social. Hot off the presses! lawandinequality.org/article/pois....

My new article, "POISON!", is now available 😊 Thank you to the editors over at the Minnesota Journal of Law & Inequality! lawandinequality.org/article/pois...

Ah~ Clark Atlanta, I will always remember this day. I got to do a fireside chat on Africana Legal Studies with Attorney and Professor Mawuli Davis of the Pre-Law Program in the Dr. Mack H. Jones Political Science Department! Stopped to take a photo with Dr. Du Bois on the beautiful campus.

More than 400 law professors from across the country have signed the following statement to call attention to the constitutional crisis that the nation is now facing. Please read and repost! Thank you!!!

“Negro law students were told that they belonged to the most criminal element in the country; and an effort was made to justify the procedure in the seats of injustice where law was interpreted as being one thing for the white man and a different thing for the Negro. . . ."

This is like Michaeux's "Within Our Gates"! Similar plot points. Common thread: it's a critique of the evils of oppressors.

Just thinking about how the Constitution still allows enslavement as punishment for a crime.... in times like these, i really wish that had been amended.

The way that my Higher Education Law lesson plans are changing in real time 🥴

It's not just that Elon Musk did that salute, it's also that he was talking about "civilization."

Hate-watching. 1. Michelle Obama's absence is LOUD. 2. Ketanji Brown Jackson is wearing COWRIE SHELLS.

🥰 thank you so much, @bechamilton.bsky.social I feel the same way about you~

Aww, this was a nice little surprise to see.

Just a reminder, as the anti-DEI crusade rages on in the U.S., that discriminatory impact is a well-established concept. e.g., General Recommendation no. 32, "The meaning and scope of special measures in the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination" (2009)

The AI knows me, and I feel weird about it. I guess at least it has articulated the theory mostly right.

My next article is coming out soon. My 2nd Africana Legal Studies piece. This time, about poison--enslaved Africans poisoning their European-American enslavers. But it's about more than just that... 😊
