Let White Supremacy āFucking Dieā
Sociology professor Johnny Williams is sitting out this semester under an imposed leave of absence from Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut, after a rightwing organization whipped up a frenzy of protest against Williamsā Facebook comments against police killings of Black people. Williams signed his remarks āLet Them Fucking Dieā -- by which he meant letting āwhiteness and white supremacyā die. A group called Campus Reform launched a āwhistle-blowing campaign to their racist base,ā prompting the college to temporarily put Prof. Williams on ice.

The Black and Brown Coalition at Philadelphiaās Temple University held a day-long conference on the works of Black Panther Party co-founder Huey P. Newton.
