Once again Belfast turned out in huge numbers to stand in solidarity with EVERYONE who calls this city home, to celebrate diversity and to show racists and the far-right that they are the minority.

As Greens we proudly stood in solidarity in the grand coalition of so many people from trade unions, other political parties, community groups, activist groups, residents organisations, charities and individuals.

By way of @rogueclassicist and Chuck Jones' Ancient World Online (AWOL) blog, I see that this open-access ebook (available also in print) is now available:

"... provides scholars and students with an exploratory intellectual history of the complex relationships between Classics and racist/anti-racist thought-systems. It collects together a series of readings of historical primary sources from the late medieval period until the mid-twentieth century, bringing to light how the classical tradition and post-ancient constructions of race have informed each other.

I suggest all of you try to invest time/efforts if you have similar friends in your personal circle.

Please avoid white saviour behaviours & please learn to listen better, to Indigenous voices & voices of vetted Indigenous comrades 🙏🦅❤️

Larissa Crawford is using the trauma she has faced as a Métis and Jamaican Indigenous woman to create a more inclusive future.

After being hospitalised due to workplace discrimination, Larissa took matters into her own hands and founded Future Ancestors Services — a game-changing social enterprise connecting diverse entrepreneurs with clients seeking expertise in community impact, sustainability, and Indigenisation.

💙 At the heart of her organisation, is recognising that lived experiences are not just something to overcome, but a powerful qualification that can be used to shape decision-making conversations and create a fairer and more inclusive future for all.

I spent my Easter afternoon transcribing my penciled notes from Elizabeth Jemison's, "Christian Citizens : Reading the Bible in Black and White in Postemancipation South." The book makes clear the through line from Reconstruction's white Southern Christianity choosing violent racism over equality to today's type of white Christian who's again choosing violent racism, which is incredibly helpful to know.
