As a culture we let literacy get defined as a weakness. That was wrong
That is why I love assigning @alfredtatum’s work. We need to reestablish that literacy is the heart of all power, especially for the black male.
@davidekirkland does wonderful work to show black men are very literate, but not in ways that we recognize in our schools. Very similar to piece we read by Miasha Winn, on Africa Diaspora Literacy Communities
