On this day in 1948, white residents of Johnson County, GA, waged a terror campaign of violent intimidation to keep Black voters from an upcoming election. https://t.co/OtksS2OECR

One of the reasons they are banning antiracist history books is because they don’t want people to learn how they constructed racism. Because the more we learn how they constructed racism, the more we learn how to deconstruct it and build equitable and just and democratic societies for all people. The more we build equitable and just and democratic societies, the more people of color resist their racist efforts to take us back and the more White people join in that antiracist resistance because they realize equitable and just and democratic societies benefit them more than a deeply unequal society ruled by fear-mongering fascists and tyrants spreading bigotry of all kinds to divide and conquer us.

This is what happens when you ask a legitimate question about a historically underserved community, in the White House briefing room. Trust, I will not stop asking questions no matter how many threats come!

[Peggy Pizzo @PizzoPeggy]

Beautifully said by a First Lady who knows how challenging this role can be. Mrs. Carter also championed historic child welfare policy changes. Hope to have the untold story of this on social media tomorrow @WalterGilliam @CemereDJ @Jess_Bartholow @JulieKashen @JessicaSagerAOK

@PizzoPeggy @Jess_Bartholow @ChildDefender Best news I’ve heard in so long!! @Jess_Bartholow let’s talk.

On this day in 1920, a white mob in Ocoee, Florida, lynched dozens of Black Americans and razed the Black community, because a Black man attempted to vote. https://t.co/5cHB1hktCx

Founder Kelly Ifill prides herself on creating a banking system for Black business owners AND creating community through networking with peers/experts to make entrepreneurs feel seen and celebrated.

[Cemere James @CemereDJ]

Have you heard about @JoinGuava? The banking hub for Black entrepreneurs and small business owners. I have joined their virtual community and am taking their 8-week entrepreneurship course. As a new entrepreneur, joining Guava's professional communities has been invaluable.
