As #TyreNichols is laid to rest today, consider these words from @RaceForward pres @iamglennharris, “The frequency of death by police for Black/Brown people hurts more deeply each time. It is an exponential pain. But our pain must move us forward for our families & communities.”

Welcome to #BlackHistoryMonth! @RaceForward is proud to celebrate the many accomplishments of our people and continue the fight for #racialequity.

On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC. They sparked a national movement across the country. Instructions were simple: sit quietly and wait to be served. #BlackHistoryMonth

Eric Ward (@BulldogShadow) EVP of @RaceForward joined the #LurieDanielFavors show on @SXMUrbanView to discuss contractions in Black media, disappearing diversity in American Newsrooms & the harm this has on national discourse. @SIRIUSXM #LDFShow https://t.co/WIcAAP8Uys

More than a hundred folks joined @aordonez1029 and @DrTareceJohnson at @NSBAPublicEd Equity Symposium 2023 to talk about #HealTogether — an initiative building organizing power for education justice #NSBAAI23

Tyre Nichols' murder shows us once again the inequities of policing and police accountability for people of color. While @RaceForward has much more to say on this, tonight we mourn and stand in solidarity with Tyre Nichols' family and friends.

K-12 public school art teachers taught me concrete creative skills, encouraged my making practice & provided a space to experiment and play. I am so grateful for them! This illustration was licensed by @RaceForward and distributed at the 2022 biennial Facing Race conference.

“The fueling of xenophobic, transphobic and antisemitic beliefs within the Black community doesn’t appear in a vacuum. It is the direct result of the increasing lack of representational access to journalism.” —Eric K. Ward, @RaceForward #journalism #media https://t.co/yiqKi0MlVX
