There are people still living who fought — and watched their compatriots be murdered — for the passage of this act and to attempt to democratize America. To see it completed felled in the span of their OWN lifetime is just absolutely devastating.

'Sinners' Review: Ryan Coogler's Blood-soaked Southern Gothic Horror Masterpiece
Coogler’s first original flick is a staggeringly sophisticated studio horror with so much on its mind and sharpened fangs ready to bite.

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

And, if you're more into visuals, here's the comparison of where student loan news article authors attended undergrad compared to the national enrollment (I share this figure every quarter or so). The community college comparison remains astounding. 3/
Screenshot of figure that shows the percentage of undergraduate 
enrollees across Ivy Plus, Public Flagship, Community College, or HBCU institutions. The first 
bar for every category (blue) is the national enrollment and the second bar (green) is the percentage among authors in our study. These categories are not mutually exclusive (e.g., people could have attended both a Public Flagship and a Community College), so this figure shows where people have ever enrolled for undergraduate study (in the year 2018 for national enrollment and until summer 2022 for authors). We found that authors of student loan news articles disproportionately attended Ivy Plus and Public Flagship institutions, which tend to have a relatively low reliance on undergraduate student loans. 

Further, we only found evidence of two authors ever attending a Community College, while nearly 40% of students in the country enrolled in these institutions in 2018. 

Finally, we found that our authors attended HBCUs at approximately the same rate as national enrollment. However, when high-status fields, like journalism, have a significant share of Black workers, the HBCU share of past enrollees and graduates is disproportionately high compared to 
national enrollment. Therefore, our data suggests that our sample of student loan authors likely lacks significant representation of Black authors.
