Rest in Peace to an acting pioneer Louis Gossett Jr. For the past 60+ years you have inspired and emboldened multiple generations on screen with your talent, fearlessness, and boldness that has left an inspiring impact on the world with each character you portrayed. Every accolade you achieved helped break down barriers and uplifted our community to make space in a world that didn’t always include us. You have revolutionized what It means to be an actor and your spirit will forever be with us.

“Black students are twice as likely to be enrolled in applied instead of academic courses … And they are more than twice as likely to have been suspended from school at least once during high school.”

Black & Asian children make up 34% of pupils in primary schools, but ONLY 8% of children’s books have a Black or Asian main character📕 That’s why we’re so glad to be partnering with @PenguinUKBooks to give out over 100 FREE books written by Black & Asian authors (link in my bio)

People who think Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him & the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just *today* died—w/o accountability

Its not ancient history—its contemporary reality

Ten First Nations are launching a lawsuit against Ontario and Canada today, arguing that resource extraction has violated Treaty 9 and Indigenous jurisdiction for over a century. The case could stall the province's plans to mine the Ring of Fire. https://t.co/Ddp31BL5uB
