#Repost @innocenceproject @download.ins --- Six years ago today, Kalief Browder died by suicide after struggling with the trauma of the injustice he experienced. His death led to a wave of activism and calls to close New York City's notorious Rikers Island.⁠ ⁠ In 2010, Kalief, just 16 at the time, was accused of stealing a backpack and arrested. Bail was set at $3,000, which his family could not afford. A neighbor later lent them the money to pay Kalief's bail, but he was denied release.⁠ ⁠ Kalief always maintained his innocence, and refused to take any plea agreements. He spent a total of three years in jail — two in solitary confinement — but was never tried. Ultimately, the charges against him were dropped and he was released in 2013. But he was changed by the violence he had endured at the hands inmates and prison guards, and two years later, he died by suicide.⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ "With Kalief there began a moment in time that sparked a movement of the people and while that window of opportunity is upon us we can make history — Black history," his brother Akeem, an activist, told the Innocence Project in February 2020. ⁠⠀⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ Watch "Time: The Kalief Browder Story" on Netflix to learn more about Kalief's life and story. And read Akeem's interview with us in 2016 at the link bio.⁠⠀⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ 📷: Courtesy of @akeembrowdernyc_ and @kaliefbrowderfoundation⁠⠀⁠ ⁠⠀⁠ #KaliefBrowder #BlackLivesMatter #CloseRikers #BailReform #Innocence #Justice https://www.instagram.com/p/CPxyz2XLAhp/?utm_medium=tumblr

This Week's #FlashbackFriday Comes From Woodbridge, VA Where I Was An Adjunct Professor at Northern Virginia Community College - I got invited out by my students. This was the first time I knew I was a #LGBTQIA Ally because it was the first time I had a trans Latina woman as a student. When I met her, I remember asking her what pronoun and name she preferred because I just wanted to make her feel as comfortable as the rest of her classmates. She really appreciated it. #PrideMonth2021 #FBF (at Northern Virginia Community College) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPshQ15LDC2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Birthday to Queen Josephine Baker! 👑 👑👑 #GeminiSeason #PrideMonth2021 #BlackMusicMonth #ThrowbackThursday #Repost @josephine.baker @download.ins --- "Despite my popularity in France, sadly I never obtained the same reputation in America. Upon a visit to the United States in 1935-1936, my performances received poor opening reviews for my starring role in the Ziegfeld Follies and I was replaced by Gypsy Rose Lee later in the run. When I look back on my career, I am saddened how my singing, dancing, and acting began to slow down and it made me feel like I was letting my fans down and disappointing them." https://www.instagram.com/p/CPqYmLnr1EX/?utm_medium=tumblr
