"The white teens, who were from Eau Claire, 100 miles east, were seen taking alcohol and groceries by Seward neighborhood residents, according to a widely circulated Facebook video posted by Bobby Headbird of Minneapolis.

The AIM members recovered the merchandise, took the teens’ names and numbers and called their mothers in Wisconsin to come pick them up."

"How do we support Black philosophers in our field?" by Johnathan Flowers: https://philosopherscocoon.typepad.com/blog/2020/06/how-do-we-support-black-philosophers-in-our-field.html

git branch -m master main
