After an appeals court ruled against the Fearless Fund for black women-run startups, critically acclaimed actor @WendellPierce speaks out. Why he shared his experience with modern racism. “I wanted to show the damaging effect of when bigotry is memorialized in law.”

If I could bottle certain memories to share... I’d choose recollections of those times I spent w/the nation’s #Black priests, sisters & seminarians during their joint national gatherings, beginning for me in the early 1980s. https://t.co/pkGYooBxXZ #Blog #FaithBlog #BlackCatholic

This portrait combines elements of Haitian art history with the legacy of French colonialism in New Orleans. It is a tribute to the Venerable Henriette Delille, the founder of the Sisters of the Holy Family. Painted by Haitian artist Ulrick Jean Pierre, the artwork pays homage to both the vibrant cultural heritage of Haiti and the significant contributions of Delille to New Orleans' black community.

BREAKING: Federal Death Penalty Prohibition Act is reintroduced in Congress!

This bicameral legislation would prohibit the death penalty at the federal level, and require re-sentencing of those on the federal death row.

CMN Executive Director @KrisanneVMurphy responds.

If you are ever in Atlanta, I highly recommend visiting the Lyke House. Had a wonderful time there yesterday, and their gallery on Black Catholic history is fantastic.

My nephew is one of the men killed in this incident.

It'll feel good to Democrat or Republican this thing, but his mother, my aunt, is devastated.

My father's family is devastated.
Pray for people, pray for families, pray for our City (which is full of people, souls).
