#BreonnaTaylor…We #SayHerName, as we pray for those who loved her before her name became a hashtag..

Breonna Taylor…We Say Her Name as a devastating reminder that racial injustice is not “un-American,” but it should be.

Breonna Taylor…We Say Her Name as a call for and commitment to justice.

“Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against Iove.” #MLK

3 messengers, 3 murders, 3 wives widowed. "you can kill a man but you can't kill an idea."

Five years ago today, and I will never stop speaking your name.

Breonna Taylor’s life mattered and she should be alive and living it to the fullest. May we all continue the work of building a more fair and just world for all.

Studying history will sometimes DISTURB you.

Studying history will sometimes UPSET you.

Studying history will sometimes make you FURIOUS.

If studying history always makes you feel proud and happy, you probably aren't studying history. #Blackhistorymonth

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

This was a great day in 2021!

Don’t act like everyone loved my father. He was assassinated. A 1967 poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in America. Most hated. Many who quote him now and evoke him to deter justice today would likely hate, and may already hate, the authentic King. #MLK.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I want to say to all of the Charlies of the world who are erroneously, yet “declaratively,” conveying that my father’s influence and the way he is honored are unwarranted:

I’m clear on why you do it.

It’s the same reason now that it was then.

It’s the reason that led the government to assassinate him.

It’s a desire to make the ideology of white supremacy, inclusive of economic disparity and militarism to protect unrighteousness empire, a consistent and persistent implementation.

Daddy stood against that, envisioned the eradication of racism, militarism and poverty, and was working on his vision becoming a reality.

The work continues…we won’t stop.

I initially posted this in 2020, and wow, has life changed since 2020. But this is still so very applicable. https://t.co/5F9WScnVek

“Freedom is never really won; you earn it and win it in every generation.” #CorettaScottKing

My mother’s words remind us that freedom is not guaranteed—it requires ongoing commitment, courage, and action.

Let this be a call to rise, stand firm, and continue the fight for freedom in our time and for future generations. Together, we can build a world rooted in justice, equity, and peace.

Habari Gani?! Nia! (Purpose)

On this 5th night of Kwanzaa we declare our collective vocation to the building and developing of our community.

Let us enter the new year not only dreaming of what’s possible to better our communities, but working together to make it a reality.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

When I was growing up, Kwanzaa was a special time of reflection with family and friends. Let us carry the wisdom of the seven principles with us as we work to build a brighter future. Happy Kwanzaa.

Harriet Tubman helped her brothers escape at Christmas. Their master intended to sell them after Christmas but was delayed by the holiday. The brothers were expected to spend the day with their elderly mother but met Tubman in secret.

Enslaved americans experienced the Christmas holidays in many different ways. It was a time of rest so most of them frequently married during this season. Some saw Christmas as an opportunity to escape, though some slaveholders treated the holiday as any other workday.

Thank you, @KamalaHarris for always showing up and fighting for us. As an HBCU graduate, you haven’t just risen to the occasion—you’ve shattered barriers and set a whole new standard for leadership.
 
Thank you for being a powerful voice for justice and equality, and never backing down when it comes to protecting what matters most: our freedoms. Whether it’s fighting for women’s rights, defending voting rights, or standing up for those who too often don’t have a seat at the table, you’re there, leading the charge.
 
Thank you for being real about the struggles Black women face—the exhaustion so many of us feel, doing the hard work every day while rarely getting the support or recognition we deserve. But despite it all, you continued to lead with grace, courage and determination—reminding us all of what true resilience looks like.
 
Your leadership is a light for many of us who carry so much on our shoulders. We're grateful for the example you set, for serving with integrity and compassion, and for never giving up on us. Thank you, Madam Vice President 🖤

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

For the people. Always.
