A few months ago, this happened:
He deleted the tweet, but imagine if instead of addressing that map in the flippant way non-Southerners are want to do Michael had done what we @scalawagmag do: talk about the challenges our communities face and how our neighbors are organizing to address them.
This morning, @scalawagmag published this piece about Tall Grass Food Box, a Black-run, Durham-based organization that is connecting NC Black farmers to businesses and residents through delivery of fresh produce. https://scalawagmagazine.org/2020/11/tall-grass-food-box-durham-nc/
Tall Grass Food Box is addressing the challenge that so many Southerners face and that the NYT's map highlights: grocery stores are more than 2 miles away from our homes. @scalawagmag chose to tell that story & not whatever story Michael thought he was telling w/that tweet.
