Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

Diahann Carroll with Sidney Poitier at the 36th Academy Awards in Santa Monica, CA on April 13, 1964. He was the first African-American to receive an Oscar for Best Actor for his role in Lilies of the Field.

He really was an amazing man, so talented, with a heart of gold and he carried himself with such dignity and poise. Barack Obama actually reminds me of him a great deal. They're so similar in so many ways. This was such a beautiful moment and a well deserved honor, for Sir. May he rest in peace.🌹

I miss seeing President Carter in these photos.
