Paulette Jordan just won the Democratic primary for governor in Idaho. Meaning, she's now positioned to become the first female governor of Idaho--and the first Native American governor in the US.
I’ll never forget that Dolly would continuously donate the proceeds from “I Will Always Love You”. She was happy that it was now Whitney’s song and made sure the money from it went to those that needed it more. A true humanitarian. May she rest in peace.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of Dolly Parton.
Her extraordinary voice entertained and brought joy to generations, and she used her influence beyond music to affirm human dignity, inclusion, and the importance of treating people with love and respect. Through her commitment to literacy, she also opened doors of possibility for children around the world.
In 2023, I had the privilege of honoring Dolly on behalf of The King Center as our Christine King Farris “Legacy of Service in Education” honoree.
My prayers are with her family, loved ones, and all who were touched by her light.

It was a joy to read It Starts With Me with Amora the Puppet and spend time with children and families at The King Center.
When young people learn that they have the power to choose love and help make the world better, change truly begins with them.

I will never stop fighting to protect the National Museum of African American History and Culture. @TheBlackCaucus stands united in defending this institution because it protects the truth of the American story.
We will not be silenced, and we will not stand by while anyone attempts to erase or rewrite our history.
If there is a sword worth falling on, it is this one.
PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”
My father’s work for justice did not grow apart from faith. It grew out of it.
When Faith Calls points to the spiritual grounding that shaped Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ministry, his commitment to nonviolence, and his courage in the face of opposition.
At a time when so much is distorted, I believe this docuseries can help people better understand the faith that informed his witness and the responsibility we still have to live out justice with conviction, love, and moral clarity.
When faith calls, courage is the answer.
Stay tuned for more.
