Abstract: How can we suppress racism? How can we suppress homophobia? How can we suppress antisemitism and Islamophobia? How can we suppress ableism? How can we suppress classism? As teachers, scholars, learners, colleagues, writers, and people who serve in various roles in their personal and professional lives, what do we need to do to suppress the -isms and ills that result in people having inequitable and unjust experiences in their classrooms, places of employment, pursuits of professional and academic opportunities, and their neighborhoods and recreational spaces? It is important to consider the value of suppressing hateful, racist, harmful language and harmful action in order to ensure that those who have been oppressed are not suppressed, but instead prioritized and protected. When talking about Black LGBTQIA+ people and their literacies, Eric Darnell Pritchard informs people about the ways Black queer people have used their literacy practices and what they refer to as "restorative literacies" to make transformative change in their lives and society. In this article, as a Black lesbian, the author advocates for suppressing attitudes, perspectives, and actions that oppress and suppress people, which evidences how she uses restorative literacies in ways Pritchard reflects on people within the Black LGBTQIA+ community using their literacy practices.
