[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:

“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’

I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.

Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

If the Spurs can push OKC to 6 and the Knicks win this series fast, I cld definitely see them winning the chip.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

When Fannie Lou Hamer went to a hospital in 1961 to have a uterine tumor removed, she left without her reproductive organs. Dubbed a 'Mississippi appendectomy,' it was part of a statewide effort to reduce the Black population through forced sterilization.

NEW: Chicago keeps having to exonerate people after wrongly convicting and incarcerating them.

But when they then try to get a court certificate attesting to their exoneration, to help them with housing & jobs, prosecutors have been fighting them.

@EchoesofWarYT @RayLong Great write up. I wld also like to for someone to add a piece on his compromises made while he was president during reconstruction as it pertains to Black Americans. There was a period after the Civil War where the country even had Senators. Then, Compromise
