Public transportation in this country is embarrassing. I see tourists in Boston looking astonished at how crappy the T is.

Tomorrow, my students and I begin Zora Neale Hurston’s masterpiece. This is my favorite novel to read and teach and this is the most perfect first page in all of literature.

I’m nervous and excited to experience Janie’s world with this group. The conversation will be RICH. #TeachingTEWWG

For those who didn't already know, the spaceship ride revealed who she was.

I remember her claiming she had been swamped by letters from little girls who could now dream of going to space.

A deeply anti-social and inhumane society. For a long time, the myth obscured this truth. But it has always been so.

Weeksville was one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America. Today, it remains a cornerstone of this city, but its history has too often been overlooked.

This short film is the story of Weeksville's rich, living history — and its vibrant future.

US strikes on Iran ‘outside international law,’ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

If you live in Massachusetts, time to call your reps and the governor (who I never liked because she has always been a cop.)
