H/T

People and work who inspire what I do.

The term 'hat tip', a sign of respect and acknowledgement, originated back when people wore hats. On Twitter dot com, my favorite social media platform, the term is often abbreviated as 'H/T'.

Thanks to the persistence of Ms. Janet Elbom, newspaper adviser for LBJ and LASA High Schools, I learned long ago that it is important to cite one's sources. But it is particularly important, downright necessary, to give credit where it is due in a society which systemically attributes to White men the work and ideas of women, Black people and other people of color. Working in the spaces I do, I can easily be one of those White men. I hope to prevent that, through this list and other means of recognition.

I cannot do what I do without the work of others whose work creates, defines and enriches the physical, political and theoretical space in which I do it. I hope you can be inspired by them, too.
