On this day in 1960, David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Ezell Blair Jr. and Joe McNeil were refused service at a Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro. Their bravery helped launch a national sit-in movement and continues to inspire progress today.

This month, we honor the contributions of Black North Carolinians and celebrate North Carolina’s rich African American culture and history. As we celebrate Black leaders, we must also acknowledge the work left to make our state more just and equitable for all.

@DVDUAwithCats @DannySword1 My condolences to you! Loss is tough and never easy, sometimes it feels like hell on earth, but know that they left a legacy for us to carry on, whatever that may be. I’m praying for you! ❤️

Today, we honor the millions of people who lost their lives in the Holocaust. As anti-Semitic violence is on the rise, we must renew our commitment to stand up against bigotry and hate and learn from the lessons of history.

We’re fortunate to live in a state with beautiful natural resources and our 41 state parks saw more visits than ever last year. We must maintain and improve these amazing parks so millions more people can enjoy all North Carolina has to offer.

An issue as important as gerrymandering must be decided by the NC Supreme Court. We look forward to arguing why we strongly believe the North Carolina Constitution bans partisan gerrymandering. In a democracy, voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.

Starting today, I’m going to step away from social media for a bit.

I really enjoy it, but this is a good time to hit pause. I was gone for most of last year and my family was great about it. Time for me to be with them.

See everyone soon, and be good to each other.
