No matter how much HBCU students have in loans, grants or scholarships, it's never enough. That's why @SpelmanCollege alumnae in Savannah are raising funds to help support our local students with small but important scholarly needs.

1) It is with great sadness that I share news of the passing of @TinaMcElroyAnsa, my sister-friend of more than 60 years. Many of you know of Tina's award-winning work as an award-winning novelist, journalist & publisher of @DownSouthPress1.
The passing of O.J. Simpson reminds me that I wrote in my memoir, "COMING FULL CIRCLE: From Jim Crow to Journalism" about how we were personally impacted in the USA Today newsroom upon hearing the not-guilty verdicts. Our reactions in the newsroom possibly reflected the nation.
President Jimmy Carter has officially been in hospice care for a year and is said to be alert, eating and understands what’s going on. The strength of this amazing human being is awe inspiring. Sending him and his family love and prayers. 🙏
I'm trusting there's a squad for Claudine Gay in full duty mode, surrounding this sister president prof, and ready with offerings of tea+, a warm ocean retreat, the requisite amount of sage, and consistent care. Professional traumas are consequential, whatever the result.#Harvard
@Poynter is honoring my career as a writing coach. They have established the Roy Peter Clark Prize for Excellence in Short Writing.
Kind of funny, since I wrote a BOOK on the subject. There are great short writers in this community. Check it out.
