Jelani Cobb Instagram - Family history in two cards.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Here’s my contribution to the farewell parade. Good luck, Trevor!

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Passed by Book Culture on Broadway and saw that they’d put my Kerner Commission book in the window. A sure day-brightener. 🙏🏾

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Dipped for a few with the camera this morning. Tribeca on a workday.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Back to the hotel room series. #albuquerque

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Is this a falcon or a hawk? Saw him or her hanging out on the window sill in my office this afternoon.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - That very strange point where you actually become an answer in the Los Angeles Times crossword puzzle. 😳

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Taking flight. The hawk that hung out on the railing this morning nose-dived off of it and free fell for ten feet or so before dramatically opening its wings and swooping away. Clearly showing off for its audience.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - The bricks in the facade of this building were reclaimed from buildings that were destroyed during the massacre. The black marks are from the century-ago fire that purged the black community of Greenwood from their homes. #tulsamassacre #greenwood

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Me at my most touristy. Hey Seattle, thanks for coming out last night!

Jelani Cobb Instagram - On the set of a project i’m both excited and sworn to silence about. I call this one “triage.”

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Met up with my friend @CordJefferson at the @NYPL. He’s rightfully being praised for the brilliance of his debut film American Fiction and I was happy to capture a few images of him against this classic NYC backdrop. Thank you @citizenmagazine for the chance to stretch my photographic wings for an afternoon!

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Posted up under an awning during the monsoon and watched the wet world go by.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Throwing a party and inviting everyone else who was cut from the AP curriculum. It’s gonna be HOT.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - The Matter of Black Lives is in the top 100 sellers on Amazon and #1 in essays. Thank you all SO much for supporting this project!

(Now go support your local independent bookseller!)

Jelani Cobb Instagram - I had a busy summer of editing last year. This project is hitting shelves in August too.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Man in the mirror.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - “The Man Behind Critical Race Theory.”

I spent part of my summer digging into the life and work of Derrick Bell, a pivotal figure in the development of Critical Race Theory, the movement now being maligned and pilloried by conservative media and politicians. Their claims have nothing to do with what Bell thought or wrote but oddly manage to validate the precise points he was making about the persistence of racism.

Out this week in the New Yorker magazine and available on the New Yorker website.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Sunset near campus.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - I had the good fortune to curate a news reading list on Apple News for Black History Month. Check it out in today’s feed (if you have an iPhone.)

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Thank you Raleigh-Durham airport bookstore. The Matter of Black Lives — now available in paperback!

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Last day at the LBJ Presidential Library. So great to be in an archive again…

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Greenwood District, Tulsa, OK. A hundred years later.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Found a t-shirt that is literally older than many of my students. Given to me by a friend in college — and expressing a true sentiment at the time!

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Your weekly Manhattan raptor shot.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Hard to explain the impact this book had on me and my whole generation of writers and critics. Greg Tate created a body of work that literally showed how it should be done (and showed lots of us who were struggling to get a foothold that it even could be done.)

Rest In Peace, Greg. And thank you for the example you set.

Jelani Cobb Instagram - Sunset. Anchorage, Alaska.

Jelani Cobb - 2.5K Likes - Somewhere in 2018 I got the idea to do a documentary that would examine the role of voter access in the upcoming presidential election. My across-the-hall colleague June Cross was quietly working on her own documentary on the same subject.

Fortunately we got into a conversation that led to a collaboration between us, a great colleague from Frontline, Tom Jennings, and the data team at Columbia Journalism Investigations. And we were all fortunate to have CJS Dean Steve Coll and Raney Aronson, Executive Producer of Frontline support the idea.

The result was Whose Vote Counts, a film that was released just before the election and rewarded with the esteemed Peabody Award (it came in the mail today.) I’m thrilled we got to do this film and angry that we even needed to. But I’m nonetheless thankful for this recognition.

Jelani Cobb - 1.4K Likes - Beyond humbled to have received an honorary doctorate from Rutgers University 21 years after I received my PhD there. It was awarded on Mother’s Day in (yet another) moment that reminded me of how much my late mother sacrificed to make this possible. Thank you to all my friends, my family and my mentors as well. Go Rutgers!
