A few notes:
  • Roxana Gay argues contemplates the use of racial and gender adjectives for the term “writer.” [The Nation]
  • This document stresses the need for our times to reflect the political and economic dynamic of the Millennials. Real talk. [Tara Conley]
  • A book ban of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man happens in a small community. A book store gives away free copies to the community. The rest of the nation hears about it. Miraculously, the book ban is reversed. [The Millions]
  • Dolores Huerta says we need to keep working towards diversity and inclusion. She’s one of the few people I always need to listen to. [Huffington Post]
  • Dominican colorism became a hot topic this past week. Worth reading this one by Claudio Cabrera. [HuffPo Latino Voices]
  • We’ve needed reform for juveniles in the prison industrial complex. Here’s one path. [NPR]
A short note:
Mariano, thank you. People this week have waxed poetic about your demeanor, your dignity, and, yes, that impossible ERA (earned run average). You’ve made almost every Yankee game
