Learning Tools

World Cat is fantastic resource to look for materials anywhere in the world. You can search local libraries, college libraries, and more. It is a great tool for anyone looking to dig deep and get you fingers dusty. You should be reading books. There are many areas of study that require you to get up in the stacks and sit with a text until you find what you need. All of our new media is great, but it is not a complete picture. Find what you need.

In honor of my recent travel to the city of Chicago, learn a little something about one of the greats in Black politics.

History Video of the Week:

A Message Before You Go:

The city of Chicago has a lot of stories to tell. It should not be overlooked or undervalued in your study fo the Black story of this country. I have had to fortune to connect with the city in the last two years and I look forward to spending more time there in the future. This weekend I spent time connecting with my brother’s over few days. The maintenance of your relationships is highly important. We can take for granted that the ones we love, including our friends, are static objects. Locked in at that time we met and remaining how we remember them forever. The truth is that the world and everything in it is moving, growing, and changing. We have to be intentional and present in our relationships. Nothing matters more. As a man you do not exist on an island formed of just your personal identity. We are a piece of the whole. Be great, be righteous, and be with your brothers.

This was in context to a speech delivered on April 4, 1967 at Riverside Church in New York City - exactly one year before his untimely death.

Why Does Representation Matter? Recently I have seen a lot of discussion around representation and people struggling to understand or articulate why it's important. Why does it matter how people and ideas are shown in film, photography, and the news? Aren't there more pressing on the ground needs that we should focus on instead? Since this account is about changing representations of land, I wanted to address it here. Representation matters because it creates the ideological conditions necessary for realizing on the ground change. Basically, the more we talk about something in a certain way, the more we hear it and see it represented in a certain way, the more likely we are to accept it as true, as natural, or as "common sense" regardless of it's actual basis in truth. This is what psychologists call the Illusory Truth Effect - the tendency to believe information to be correct because of exposure rather than reason or evidence. This kind of ingrained belief especially across whole groups of people and cultures leads to what is called reification - or making REAL something that previously had only been imagined or talked about. In other words, we try to shape physical reality to fit our believes rather than allowing our beliefs to be shaped by truth. (Example of this is comments. My original post was too long.) - Once established, these realities are easy to perpetuate and incredibly difficult to destabilize. (Especially when, like wilderness, they intersect with entrenched power structures like colonialism and capitalism). But the whole idea behind Indigenous Geotags is that this process can go the other way, that representing these lands as deeply cultural and historical, as belonging to indigenous people, is the first step toward creating a more just reality.
