Sidney Poitier was the first black person I saw on the big screen. I didn't care what the movie was about. I was mesmerized by his presence as this elegant Black man. I remember smiling all through the movie. He leaves a legacy that goes beyond the academy. Rest in peace.

2 ppl are talking, one American, one English who wants to pass for “American”
But he uses a phrase or word that betrays his ruse; the American notices
searching for that word or phrase that would sound “off” to the ear of an American who knows English-isms and isn’t fooled.

Went to @usccb site to see what bishops had said on the anniversary of the storming of the Capitol, thinking: “surely they would not absent their vital moral voice at this most solemn moment of national reflection?” But can’t find anything. 🤔

One year later. “One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being."—May Sarton
“Et tu, Mikhail? the master said, sadly. The plan had been for his manservant to offer himself as a human sacrifice, and in return the master would adopt Mikhail’s cow and raise it as his own. But then someone got “cold feet.” #TolstoysTalesofTrump

“Without intending to the communists taught us to locate the truth of the world not in mere information about it, but in an attitude, a commitment, a moral imperative.” --Vaclev Havel. (Today's "teachers" wear a different name.)

I’ve inherited so many books from various places and I love the little artifacts of their previous lives. Like this little card, from inside an advance reader copy of some collected writings of Harvey Cox, edited by @RobertEllsberg

Just happened to pick up @RobertEllsberg's book to revise my syllabus for my Gandhi-King class with Cornel and came across this blurb from Joseph Prabhu next to mine. Even on the back of a book, Joseph is eloquent and powerful. I miss him.
