Katherine Dunham, born #OTD, was more than a dancer.
She was an activist, educator, anthropologist — and the queen of Black dance.
Her legacy lives on in every stage and classroom she helped transform.

I think a pretty strong case could be made that CUNY is in fact the preeminent and most important American university system.

When I was a child, I learned that the Constitution didn’t apply to people like us. I said the Pledge of Allegiance from inside a barbed wire camp, the words “with liberty and justice for all” wholly meaningless.
But I did not give up on America. I’ve spent my life fighting for its ideals.

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law.
We can no longer teach our children that.
And that's really fucking tragic.
