Lots of feelings to share now that #HighOnTheHog is finally born, but there are two choices i will love these folks forever for making 1. using @MusicNegrito's "Lost in the Crowd" as intro music and 2. making room for @lenithecook to share her brilliance.

It's officially summer, which for many is a time for fun in the sun & family outings to the beach or to your local pool. A day at the beach or public pool is considered one of America’s great pastimes, but this pastime has not always been enjoyed by everyone. #APeoplesJourney

Louis was amazing and his passing is a loss to all who love and celebrate the food of the South. My sympathy to his family
Louis was always so kind and supportive when I was learning my way around the south. This gentle spirit will be missed. postandcourier.com/blog/rask…

There is no reason a person should pay more than 15% interest in the United States.
It’s common sense - in fact, we had these Usury laws until the 70s.
(Max interest rates are record-high for ppl with excellent credit, too.)
It’s a debt trap for working people + it has to end.
Presidential hopeful @BernieSanders and congresswoman @AOC are calling for a 15% cap on credit card interest rates bloom.bg/2VoJnDS

Did anyone say his name?
He is Kendrick Castillo, American hero.

Condolences to the family of John Singleton. His seminal work, Boyz n the Hood, remains one of the most searing, loving portrayals of the challenges facing inner-city youth. He opened doors for filmmakers of color to tell powerful stories that have been too often ignored.

54 years ago today, we were beaten, tear gassed, trampled by horses, and left bloody on that bridge in Selma. But we cannot rest. We cannot become weary. We must honor those who gave their lives for the right to vote. We must continue to find a way to get in the way. #goodtrouble
