"White men have controlled women’s reproductive rights throughout US history. The post-Dobbs era is no different.
This is not the first period in U.S. history when white men have exercised control over women’s right to bear – or not bear – children, including during slavery."

Next was a fantastic panel on the creation of at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business with Brian Lowery, Andrew Curran, and Sidney Chalhoub. This is a deep dive into the origins of conceptions of race in areas of the world impacted by the African slave trade, and the conversation is extremely informative and powerful.

Euphemistic headline, but some value in this short piece:

“Next summer marks 50 years since a federal judge ordered Boston to integrate its public schools… ‘I remember sitting on that bus and having people pelt the bus with rocks. I don't remember the words because I didn't really understand the N-word when I was 7 years old, but I remember it was hate. Sometimes you don't remember the word—you remember the sentiment behind it.’”
