The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

I’ve recently been with readers in Oakland, Jamaica and Gwinnett Co.,GA. During each stop I’ve met Black physicians and other healthcare professionals who describe The Price of Exclusion + its history as additive to their equity work. More than I could hope for… www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

Listening to and re-reading @marthasjones.bsky.social today: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/o...

This particular draft is slapdash work. And it doesn’t provide any new insight that’s meaningul. Who cares about Confederate policy? We know what the federal draft looked like. And the taxation parts of the paper are incredibly superficial. Why does this warrant any attention? It doesn’t.

Prof. Wurman adds a UMich Law Prof to his group of birthright citizenship skeptics. These folks continue to spread mistruths and errors to the public, and distort the record, injuring the public’s historical memory. Wurman et al refuse to answer questions, but they want to be taken seriously.

Daphne Maxwell Reid, Richmond Public Library, Fountain Bookstore, Family, Readers and Friends-my gratitude is deep. Thank you for the beautiful, tough and necessary conversation around The Price Exclusion.

@nicolefcarr.bsky.social’s new book, “The Price of Exclusion: The Pursuit of Healthcare in a Segregated Nation,” looks important and fascinating. Thanks to Nicole and writer @koriedean.bsky.social for this smart Q&A. www.theassemblync.com/news/educati...

"But land isn’t the only thing Black people have lost in Hancock County. They’ve lost the only hospitals they’ve ever had nearby — and on more than one occasion." On Juneteenth, read an exclusive excerpt from @nicolefcarr.bsky.social's new book, The Price of Exclusion":

Last night I sat in community w readers in Raleigh, NC-home the nation’s first four year medical school. That education -the education of the Negro doctor-set the standard. A HBCU set the standard. Shaw U. set the standard. Thank you for grounding conversation in race/ed w The Price of Exclusion.

A reviewer set my book next to a pic of the Black Tulane med students who stood firmly in front of cabins where the formerly enslaved slept. Fists raised, white coats on..new energy to Whitney Plantation. Headed to shoot a story at the HBCU that was home to America’s 1st 4 year med school.This life…

S/O to my Uber driver, Jay. By the end of our 45 min commute, he’d pre-ordered the audiobook and three hard copies of The Price of Exclusion. Thankful. ✨Here’s a link to pre-orders: www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

It’s very easy to write this off as a TX thing, or a southern thing or a “not where I live” sort of thing. You should not. America’s attack against public education is generational thing. And public education makes, breaks or strengthens a nation’s caste system. This is absolutely alarming.

Good on Scott Pelley.

What is the point of return? How do we come back from this??

What a weekend. Thank you to the Bay Area Book Festival for allowing The Price of Exclusion to help center a conversation around anti-Blackness & racism in the U.S. healthcare system. Drs. Jennifer James, Khiara M. Bridges and Vanessa Grubbs-TY for your brilliance and books. Two weeks until Pub Day!

🔥🔥🔥🔥 “Some folks don’t want public memory preserved or history taught if it does not claim their ancestors and ideology the victors. And some folks definitely want to avoid confronting reality if it means staining their own ancestors’ legacies.”
