On August 6, 1965, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law as my father looked on. It was not a gift. It was the result of sacrifice, courage, organizing, and nonviolent struggle.
I believe my father would be deeply troubled by the ongoing efforts to weaken voting rights and make fair representation harder to secure. But I also believe he would not want us to surrender to frustration or despair.
We have work to do. We must organize with discipline, demand new voting rights protections, and continue pressing toward a democracy where every voice is valued and every vote is protected.

"We had technical difficulties! That's the first time I have ever seen that, and I've been watching sports for 60 years! That I've seen that in a playoff game" Chris Russo rips the NBA on Prime

Buddy Guy on if “Sinners” has helped bring blues back into the mainstream:
"I see that there’s some young people coming up to me now, 'I saw you in the movie,' and before the movie I didn’t get that. I think it might help, and hopefully it will help open people’s eyes about the blues. The blues is the history. Back then, there wasn’t no such a’ thing as hip-hop, rock, or nothing else. The blues was playing for a drink, and if you played good enough, you got you a good-looking woman and a hangover the next day."
