Good vibes, great people, and some GOOD shrimp at Festival on the Hill! Always a good time connecting with neighbors and fellowshipping with my brothers of the Baltimore (MD) Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi! ♦️👌🏾

William Henry Lee, principal P S 103 when Thurgood Marshall attended the school along with Cab Calloway. He gave Thurgood a copy of the U S Constitution to read when he needed to be sent to “time out!” “by the time I graduated from that school, I knew the Constitution by heart!”

Baltimore, ICYMI: today we announced legislation to establish a new agency which will serve as the third branch of public safety in Baltimore City.
The Department of Neighborhood Safety (DNS) will support the progress and hard work of @BaltimoreMONSE, and will create a new, comprehensive alternative response system to ensure that when residents call 911, they receive a response that meets their needs.
This is a major step forward in building the future of public safety in our city.

Watching the Ravens enter the 4th quarter up 2 scores and end up winning by 3 scores instead of imploding.
Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the courage of our first responders, and stand with the families forever impacted. On this National Day of Service, may we honor their memory through service, unity, and care for one another.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is not just a moment in history, it is a responsibility we carry forward.
Today, we honor the resilience of those who came before us and recommit ourselves to strengthening our communities.
