Wow! This is a real honor for me. Yoruba Richen, the award-winning director of the film The New Black thought enough of my essay “Love in Action” to recommend it as a supplement to her TED talk on Civil Rights/LGBT rights. The other listed works are nothing short of seminal. It means a lot to me that she would suggest that my work on violence and LGBT communities should be considered in this company: http://bit.ly/1u2UQiN

I have been silent on this cultural commentary blog longer than intended. However, I recently broke my silence on Huffington Post. On April 22, 2014, the Supreme Court issued its decision in the Michigan Proposal 2 case. The next day, I published “Supreme Court Agrees with Michigan Voters: Affirmative Action Must Remain for Whites Only.”

My brief commentary will now likely appear in other venues, not this blog, but I will continue to post updates about a broad range of my activities (including when I publish commentary like that above) on the blog I maintain about my book Living with Lynching HERE and on its facebook page.
