Monica and Shawn Williams say their white neighbor harassed them & burned a cross to intimidate them.
He's been indicted on two federal charges.

Still, South Carolina does not have a hate crime law, and the Williamses are pushing to make it a reality.

The original Memorial Day was started by Black people. But, as usual, racism prevents many from knowing this

For years, the government has played in Black peoples faces essentially saying “slavery was awful BUT we don’t have enough for reparations”

In less than 2 years of being in office, Trump found the means for J6ers to get reparations—applauded for attempting to overthrow the gov

Just another reminder that the states we see rolling back voting rights today & eliminating Black representation NEVER wanted Black people to have rights to begin with: they were FORCED to do so by federal law. Now that they’re not anymore…it’s right back to their racist ways.

These sculptures were made by Murjoni Merriweather, she is a Baltimore-based sculptor and MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) graduate with a B.A. in Ceramics and Film who creates expressive clay busts and figures celebrating Black culture, natural hairstyles, and lived experiences.

Her "grow bottom" sculptures appear to emerge directly from surfaces, featuring detailed elements like intricate braids, locs, afros, gold grills, and jewellery to challenge European beauty standards and counter stereotypes.

Merriweather's work has been exhibited at venues including the Walters Art Museum, Rubell Museum, and group shows on hip-hop and contemporary art. She draws from real people to give each piece it's own spirit and personality.

@thegoodfello a literal President got assassinated just for leaning in favor of giving Black men the right to the vote. John Wilkes Booth was in the crowd at Lincoln’s speech, heard Lincoln say what he said about Black men voting, and killed him a few days later

Kofi, E and Xavier turned New Day into something legendary. Forever grateful for them.

@kelleyiub01 @RossKneeDeep I genuinely laugh at how you all talk so boldly behind a fake page. You live in an anti-Black society, and you're still scared to truly stand on what you feel. Fuck outta here lol

This town in Mississippi was founded by formerly enslaved people to protect Black farmers from racist U.S. laws.

But now residents say they’re being pushed out of their jobs – by white South Africans granted refugee status by Trump.
