Have you ever heard the black man that they bombed his house over 10 times?. he was one of the baddest attorney in the south. And there was afraid of him.. he was a black lawyer in the 1940s in Alabama. take the time to study his legacy and his history.

For 17 years, St. Mary’s has had a 100% graduation rate and a 100% college acceptance rate. The all-girls private school has no entry tests, just high expectations and strict rules. cbsn.ws/3yhdCk4

Thanks to an HBCU Votes Grant, given to the office of Student Affairs, who then partnered with GSU NAACP, they were able to place six voting centers around campus. The centers are at Grambling Hall, Carver Hall, the Student Union, the Cafe, the Tiger Express, & Long Jones Hall.

It's time to stop dumping thankless tasks on women.
Women get more asks than men to serve on committees, plan events, and take notes. They're more likely to be penalized if they say no—and taken for granted if they say yes.
Work should be divided equitably by role, not gender.

LDF’s litigation team was in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals today for our hair discrimination case that started in 2020 during COVID. Our clients are staying the course and we are with them every step of the way as @BHISD continues to ban children b/c of their hair.

Water is a basic human right.
But Black communities lack equal access to plumbing and clean water and suffer disproportionately from water unaffordability.

Brown v. Board of Education advanced racial equity and expanded access to educational settings from which Black students had long been excluded.
This landmark case should not be weaponized to dismantle programs that further educational access for students of color.
