Before "Let's roll," there was a Mayday call in the cockpit. The first person to fight back on Flight 93 was a Black man.
Almost no one knows the name LeRoy Homer Jr.
He's not the only one. At least 24 #Black firefighters & law enforcement officers were killed that day.
The leader of the Vulcan Society, the Black firefighters' union, doesn’t think his men received the same recognition as their white counterparts. The 9/11 Memorial Museum has since tried to make it right, highlighting lesser-known Black victims.

Primitive drawings at Duncan's ranch are Raven's ticket to tenured position she's worked so hard for in #SantaFe. There's no denying the attraction between them. However, he's not healed from a broken heart & she's not ready to give up her career.
Can they meet in the middle?
Most #musicians would do anything to work record producer known as "Rolling Deep." R.D. can pick & choose any artist he wants―& he wants Laurel Raineau. A classical #violinist, Laurel soaring music that touches R.D. to his very soul.
Laurel is ready to file a restraining order.
Lance is a self-made man who enjoys every moment of his success. Running an auction house allows him to manage his own time & travel the world on a moment's notice--so why rush to settle down? The question answers itself with a travel writer who makes him second-guess everything.
