@bradluttrell Wife and I were fortunate to catch him in Charlotte (at one of the best venues I know - The Evening Muse) in around April of 2023. Sublime and amazing show. Can’t wait to give his newest music a listen.
She’s amazing. We overlapped a couple years at Virginia, then I went to grad school at USC, so her presence holds even more import. A difference maker.
Dawn Staley on the legacy she hopes to leave: “My mother grew up in South Carolina. This was the 1940s and early ’50s. Segregation was still legal. Separate bathrooms. All of it. She left the South at the age of 13, seeking equality and opportunity. I think about her a lot … I think about what she made possible for me and maybe what I’m supposed to make possible for others. She left South Carolina because of the racial divide. I came back with a hope to bridge it.
I also know what me coaching here symbolizes in light of history. When I walk around different neighborhoods in this city, I’ll hear Black people say, “I had never been on that campus before coming to your game.” I understand that my success isn’t about championships — it’s about bringing together people who were once, and in some ways still are, divided. It’s bigger than basketball.
If I never won another championship but my legacy was that — to have changed the face of opportunity and united communities — I’d take that over most other things in this world.” #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/yERt6HgnzX
@bradluttrell I know of Medium Build through your recommendation. He had some kind of touring affiliation with Ithaca band X Ambassadors. After listening to “Townie” I think I understand why. Are you familiar with them? I wasn’t.
@bradluttrell I felt like I hadn’t heard anything quite like this album when it rolled out. Still love this band a lot - and the evolution of their sound - but the intimacy of this one still hits.
Warnock: Trump doesn't even recognize the sad irony of his remark. In a real sense Kamala Harris's story is an iteration of the American story, the diversity that is among us and often within us and that is the American story— Out of many one, E pluribus unum. She carries that literally in her veins and in that sense, he doesn’t know who we are and if you don't know us then you can't represent us, you certainly can't lead us
