D.C. could be getting more Alabama!
“The Tuskegee Airmen are among the most heroic and consequential soldiers that our nation has ever had. While facing horrific discrimination at home, these men risked their lives to defend rights and freedoms abroad.”
May we never forget.
#OnThisDay in 1921, one of the deadliest racial massacres in U.S. history began in the thriving Greenwood African American community of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Black Wall Street in Tulsa, OK, was destroyed by a mob. Explore: s.si.edu/3MV2U5z. #APeoplesJourney #ANationsStory

This better be a dream sequence on Will Trent. After last season, I know good and well Amanda isn’t going out like this.

Yesterday remembered 58 years since 3 students were killed at another 28 injured in the campus of South Carolina State University. The history books call it the Orangeburg Massacre. My father was one of the ones shot, but also the only one imprisoned (wrongfully) as a result of that nights violence.
Our history was not that long ago…
Watching How The #Grinch Stole Christmas as an adult is different. The Whos really should have beat him down.🤣

The end of an era. The Alabama delegation paid our respects to Lt. Col. George Hardy, the last surviving Tuskegee Airman to fly combat missions in WWII. We owe him—and all the Tuskegee Airmen—an enormous debt of gratitude. May he rest in peace and power. 🙏🏾

#TheeILove: The AFCA will posthumously award the 2025 Trailblazer Award to former Jackson State coach, WC Gorden.

I often wonder how school choice proponents view community. Supporting public schools financially is good for the whole, even when we choose private schools.
As conservative lawmakers promise to expand school choice next year, a handful of Mississippi cities are taking a public stand against the policy.

People conflate America's race-based institution with every other society's word for "slavery" because there is no single word for what America did.
Chattel slavery wasn't new. But what's the ONLY property specifically protected by the Constitution?

Freedom Monument Sculpture Park in Montgomery honors the millions of people who endured the brutality of slavery and still found ways to love, persevere, and create a more hopeful future for this country.

By the time slavery was formally abolished in 1865, nearly 10 million Black people had been enslaved in the U.S. Close to six million of those people died as enslaved people—and nearly half of all enslaved children died before the age of one. Their lives are honored and remembered at Freedom Monument Sculpture Park. Plan your visit at legacysites.eji.org
