The is the type of photo we may see of white youth, even white adults, who have killed people. Trayvon was killed, his killer free, and we seldom saw photos of this Black boy, full of promise and hope, enjoying space camp. Many of us are working to make the world better, Trayvon.

I’m elated to call my sister-in-service @KamalaHarris our next VP. For the first time in our history, millions of little girls of color across our nation will soon have someone in the White House that looks like them and unequivocally speaks for them. #BlackWomenLead
I’m so excited that Black women and women of color everywhere will be represented on the national stage with @KamalaHarris as our VP nominee. #BlackWomenLead https://t.co/NIp6q3hBdk
👀 Looking forward to joining my friend @JoyAnnReid on tonight’s special edition of @thereidout where we’re discussing what Biden’s historic VP pick means for Americans— especially for Black women.
Over 80% of Black women develop fibroids by the time they reach menopause and I am one of them.
I’m proud to cast a spotlight on a forgotten issue that hits so close to home alongside @SenKamalaHarris. No one stands up for Black women quite like how other Black women do. ✊🏾
Exclusive: @KamalaHarris and @RepYvetteClarke introduce bill to provide new funding for research and education on uterine fibroids https://t.co/SyUDRsbRT8
His name is George Floyd.
He was murdered by Minneapolis Police.
Being Black is not a crime.
Being Black doesn’t excuse lethal force by police.
These officers must be held accountable and charged with murder.
Rest In Power Brother George👊🏾
