On New Year's Day in 2005, Shirley Chisholm ascended to become an ancestor, passing on her life's work to us. At the dawning of the year 2022, we remember her life and reclaim her mission to empower Black people and, in her words, to "ameliorate the human condition."

In memory of bell hooks, we must continue the effort to destroy the imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy in our relationships, learning, work, and living.
Like Rep. Chisholm led in the effort as a people's politician, prof. bell hooks led as a people's scholar, leaving us many tools to use in the struggle.

FROM THE ARTICLE: “Any time that Black women call attention to racial injustice, they’re going to be punished for it because society does not want to deal with that racist, sexist oppression,” said Moya Bailey, assistant professor of Africana studies and women’s, gender and sexuality studies at Northeastern University. Bailey coined the term “misogynoir” as a way to identify anti-Black misogyny.
