Piece 44: Trouble The Water

Posted on June 24, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

Piece 41: Respectability

Posted on April 17, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

Why do you think that the names of Pauli Murray, a gender queer woman, and Claudette Colvin, a teenage mother, are not taught to us alongside the name of Rosa Parks, even though all three were civilly disobedient in the same way?

Piece 40: One Day, When the Glory Comes

Posted on April 15, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

As theologian James Cone states in The Cross and the Lynching Tree, “Without concrete signs of divine presence in the lives of the poor, the gospel becomes simply an opiate; rather than liberating the powerless from humiliation and suffering, the gospel becomes a drug that helps them adjust to this world by looking for “pie in the sky.”

Piece 37: Shut Up & Dribble

Posted on March 21, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

Piece 36: Know My Name

Posted on March 20, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

In January 2015, Miller was 22 and living in her hometown of Palo Alto, California. She went to a party, was sexually assaulted, and then saved from further harm by strangers who stopped her assailant when they saw what he was doing. Six years later, eight people went about their normal daily activities on a March day in Georgia, completely unaware that their lives would be violently cut short.

Pandemic University’s Teacher of the Year

Posted on February 19, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

In the future, may we find that the years we spent at Pandemic University taught us to replace popularity contests with support for each other that is so fierce that we never think to compete with each other.
