Humbled indeed--

Congress shall make no law.....oh, never mind.

The slave memorial at Independence National Historic Park. It maybe covered or removed as early as tomorrow due to an executive order. #PhillyTrib

Be about it.

The use of police power and authority continues to traumatize Black people, stripping us of our human and constitutional rights.

#FrankieBeverlyandMaze created the best concert experiences that are unforgettable. I miss the magic that bands bring.

Your weekly deeds should be to do for others, elders, young people, children, and donations to foundations, agencies, churches doing the heavy lifting in our communities.

20 years after Katrina, the message remains clear — infrastructure is a civil right. Katrina exposed a structural failure: the erosion of infrastructure in Black communities reflected a deeper neglect of Black lives. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Pay attention Virginia! This woman has decided to be the face of the anti-Black Party. She is not a friend to the Black community! Vote on policy.

MJW…the dude you looked to and grew with for what was cool via 80s TV. From Theo to directing the flyest music videos. Evolving as a Black Gen X man. A damn good actor who never cheated his craft. Gone far too soon. www.phillytrib.com/obituaries/m...

A gut punch....💔 #GenX Rest easy, Malcolm-Jamal Warner 🕊💙🙏🏾🥹

For my 757 family-

Missing you every day, Daddy. I love a fuller and rich life.yet there is a little hole in my heart because you aren't here. We were so blessed and loved by God to have you. #FathersDay

The previous marker for Buckroe Beach in Hampton, Va., only said: “In 1620, Frenchmen sent over to plant mulberry trees and grape vines settled here. The name was taken from a place in England.” A city marker nearby also erases the Black story. Photo here with alt text www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=234465

Saw the fruit of my labor as former chair of the VA State Board of Historic Resources, as we approved this updated marker for Buckroe Beach to tell an important inclusive history. The 1928 marker did not. Finally.

What a blessed genius we had. He made forever songs. #SlyStone

911 wasn’t the first bombing of American citizens 😡😡😡😡

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president. Shame.
