In 1848, Biddy Mason was forced to walk 1,700 miles from Mississippi to Utah, then taken on a second march to California. After learning slavery was illegal there, she sued her enslaver, won her freedom in court, and bought land that ultimately made her one of the richest women in Los Angeles.
These lil peen white republican men want women to lose their rights and have no say. Republican women STOP SIDING with these demons and stand up for your gender & your daughters/sisters! ACT NOW!! https://t.co/sHZOkI1lqZ
"My soul is tired of seeing people suffer. I'm very tired of every time I pick up a....newspaper - talking about somebody that's been shot. Somebody's...been killed. This country is coming apart at the seams. And it's up to us to make this a better country." - Fannie Lou Hamer
On September 23, 1955, the men accused of killing Emmett Till were acquitted by an all-white jury in Mississippi, despite overwhelming evidence.
Emmett Till was just 14 years old.
His death, and the outcome of the trial, became a turning point in the Civil Rights Movement, exposing the realities of racial injustice in the United States to a global audience.
Decades later, on September 23, 2020, the case connected to the death of Breonna Taylor reached a different kind of outcome. No one was directly charged for her death, leading to widespread protests and renewed conversations about accountability, policing, and justice.
These two moments, separated by 65 years, are often discussed together because they raise similar questions about how justice is applied, who it protects, and how accountability is determined.
Both cases became part of larger national conversations. They led to protests, public pressure, and demands for change, showing how individual events can shape broader movements.
Looking at these moments side by side highlights how history is not just about the past, but also about patterns, progress, and the work that still remains.
BREAKING: Former deputy Sean Grayson has been sentenced to 20 years after being convicted of the second-degree murder of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black mother who was fatally shot in her own home after calling police for help.
My father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., warned us that we will not remember the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
What is unfolding in our immigration system today demands moral clarity and a courageous voice. Policies and practices that dehumanize immigrants, separate families, and deny due process fracture our shared humanity and move us farther from the just and compassionate society we are called to create.
Creating the Beloved Community requires that we speak, act, and refuse indifference when human dignity is under threat. Love must be active. Justice must be demanded. Conscience must guide how we respond to what is happening now in our shared World House.

Wishing you a Christmas rooted in the radical love my parents preached and practiced—love that refuses to ignore suffering, love that insists on justice, and love that pushes us toward the Beloved Community. As we approach King Holiday 2026, may this love guide our choices, our conversations, and our commitments.

MAGA loves my page… I’m curious… who will y’all follow once Trump is outta office?
HE WILL BE OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE when this disastrous second term ends. All Constitution loving American Citizens know that he doesn’t get another term. (The 22nd Amendment makes this clear.)
