Texas Stateโ€™s Black History Exhibit Cancellation Sparks Academic Freedomย Outcry What does that say about the state of higher education when a 30-year-old traveling Black history museum-with 15,000 artifacts chronicling centuries of African American experience-is too controversial for a public university campus? Image credit to Oklahoma State University That question now looms over Texas State University after officials rescinded an invitation to the Black History 101 Mobile Museum, citing the state's anti-DEI law, "the current climate," and "certain topics covered" in the collection.

This is such a real sentiment.

Iโ€™ve been thinking a lot lately about how this capitalistic society ties the numbers in our bank accounts and our ability to work/hustle to our worthโ€ฆ meanwhile rich ass mfs out here stealing money.

Iโ€™m sick of it.

Texas universities deploy AI for course audits Records obtained by The Texas Tribune show how universities are using the technology to reshape curriculum under political pressure, raising concerns about academic freedom.

โ€œAt Texas A&M, internal emails show staff are using AI software to search syllabi and course descriptions for words that could raise concerns under new system policies restricting how faculty teach about race and gender.โ€

The story of the Great Migration often overlooks Black businesses that built Detroit Detroitโ€™s Black population grew sixfold from 1910 to 1920, and many businesses that sprouted to welcome the newcomers flourished.

Black Farmers Mobilize to Protect Vital HBCU Scholarship Although the 1890 scholars program is reinstated, alumni and advocates are organizing to ensure the survival of historically Black land-grant institutions.

Such a viral program. Too many people forget that Black folks are farmers, black folks live in the rural south. While the program is here to stay letโ€™s not fall asleep at the wheel.

So the realities we as Black Washingtonian face were the same before and will be after itโ€™s removed. This sign is not the solution to the bigger issue. We keep us safe and donโ€™t need our government to flash a temporary solution in our face to appease us and make us think theyโ€™re doing something.

Look, from the beginning Iโ€™ve always said this plaza was performative. Did I enjoy it being here while it lastedโ€ฆyes. Am I mad itโ€™s going awayโ€ฆno. Because regardless if 16 St. says BLM or not, our city has done virtually little to keep Black Residents Safe.

The party lost their way a long time ago. Got too comfy being wealthy and took their base support for granted. The party has become a place to advance your career. Too much opportunism. And donโ€™t get me started on the CBC but I digress ๐Ÿค
