#OTD in 1963, Medgar Evers was shot and killed in his driveway in Jackson, Mississippi, returning home from an NAACP meeting carrying t-shirts that read "Jim Crow Must Go."
His wife and children found him at the door. I know what it means to lose your father to the violence he was fighting against. I know that loss never leaves you. Medgar's legacy endures because he refused to stop, and because his family carried his work forward. We honor him by doing the same.

Angela Davis is a scholar, activist, and unwavering advocate for justice. From prison reform to civil rights and LGBTQ+ rights, she continues to shape movements for equality and liberation.
I’ll never forget seeing her at an event after her release when I was 14. Even then, I understood the gravity of her presence.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor her intellect, her leadership, and her lifelong commitment to freedom and justice for all.
Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.
14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace — without being treated like a threat.
Folks need to understand what really happened here.
Rep. Al Green was born in 1947 in the Jim Crow South. In 2026, a sitting president, Donald Trump, posted a racist video of our former president, Barack Obama, and former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Al Green was defending Black folks’ honor, and Markwayne Mullin and others were offended by that, not the racist video.
Offended enough to manhandle a Black elder.
One of my past students, Crystal Foretia, played a huge part in uncovering these graves. Really proud of the work she has done to uncover one more chapter in the long history of anti blackness in America. We need to keep telling the truth especially in these dire times.

“What’s happening now has happened before,” Kelley said, underscoring the anti-Blackness foundational to US fascism.

As a #GaVoter and a #VotingRights activist (@yvetteboulware) I know:
• GA is notorious for Purging the Voter Roll, just prior to elections.
• GA changes its’ website OFTEN, to deliberately make it *more* difficult for voters to check “Voter Status”.

🚨BREAKING: Pro-voting groups sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) for refusing to turn over key records related to his office’s sweeping 2025 voter roll purge — a purge that canceled nearly 471,000 registrations, about 6% of the state’s voters. https://t.co/UqcsvPZibS
