George Ellis Johnson Sr. (June 16, 1927 – July 6, 2026) was an American businessman and entrepreneur. Johnson is the founder of Johnson Products Company, an international cosmetics empire headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, which created products such as Ultra Sheen and Afro Sheen.

In 1964, Johnson founded Independence Bank, and during the 1970s he became the exclusive sponsor behind the nationally syndicated dance show Soul Train. In 1971, Johnson Products became the first African American-owned company to be listed on the American Stock Exchange. That same year, Johnson became the first African American to serve on the board of directors of Commonwealth Edison.

Tonea Nicole Miller was found hung in a tree while celebrating Juneteenth in Miami, FL!

Little to no news coverage is surrounding this case.

Help spread the word. The family is looking for answers!

Since Trump doesn't want this portrait of President Obama displayed in the White House, let's make this photo of our President go viral here!

RETWEET if you love @BarackObama!

A Black man created ranch dressing — and most people never knew.

Kenneth “Steve” Henson, born in Nebraska in 1918, was a plumber who cooked for his crew in Alaska. One day he mixed buttermilk, mayo, herbs, and spices… and ranch was born.

In 1954, he and his wife bought land near Santa Barbara and named it Hidden Valley Ranch. Guests loved the dressing so much they begged to take jars home. By 1957, stores were selling his dry mix. Orders exploded. Factories followed.

In 1972, Clorox bought the recipe and the name for eight million dollars. Ranch went nationwide. By 1992, it was America’s #1 dressing.

But the man behind it? Nearly erased.

Every salad, every wing, every fry dipped in ranch — that’s his legacy. He mattered. He was the blueprint.

Regina Belle drove to the hospital to see Peabo Bryson days before he passed.

She sat beside him, held his hand and whispered A Whole New World, the same song they recorded together for Aladdin in 1992. The song that won them both a Grammy. The song that made millions fall in love.

I am one of the children of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that David Banner said would agree with his opinions about my father. Please see my response here.

While David Banner is certainly entitled to his opinions, he is off base regarding the comments about my father that he recently shared with Cam Newton.

Harry Belafonte said that my father supposedly told him “he feared he had integrated his people into a burning house.”

I can only reference what we have record of my father saying, including what he shares in this 1967 interview with NBC News: https://t.co/Rk3xeCIzoG

It is important to understand that Daddy’s goal was never assimilation or Black people simply being in the same spaces as White people. In fact, in “Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?”, he wrote:

“Let us, therefore, not think of our movement as one that seeks to integrate the Negro into all the existing values of American society. Let us be those creative dissenters who will call our beloved nation to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion, to a more noble expression of humaneness.”

He was leading and a part of work for equitable distribution of resources, fairness and justice in housing, banking, and education, and other outcomes of the eradication of what he called the Triple Evils of Racism, Militarism, and Poverty.

Conquering these Evils was a part of that “dream” he spoke about on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963. In the seldom read, heard or shared parts of “I Have a Dream,” Daddy spoke about police brutality, reparations, economic disparities, and voting rights. Please listen, watch, and read it fully and with keen attention.

His dream was never weak, about acquiescence to injustice, or centered on a colorblind society in which negative peace (void of justice) prevails.

His dream was that we would work together to rid our World House of the despair of poverty, the destruction of war, and the degradation of racism.

He believed that the principled approach and bold, strategic methods of nonviolence would get us to that goal and dream, and continued to proclaim this belief the night before he was assassinated in his final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” I encourage you to listen to that entire speech, in which he shares about economic justice, a “bank-in” to support Black banks, and supporting Black insurance companies.

He had increased his focus on dismantling “the inseparable twins of economic and racial injustice” (Research SCLC’s Operation Breadbasket), while at the same time courageously challenging the U.S. government on militarism, with attention on the Vietnam War.

And the more he considered the utter moral and legislative failure of this nation to turn from the Triple Evils, the more he felt compelled to declare a prophetic warning about the consequences of that failure. Had he not been assassinated, the sermon Daddy would have delivered that Sunday was “America May Go to Hell.”

Because of my father’s profound love for this country and the world, he was profoundly disappointed by inhumanity and injustice.

Yet he was still committed to “making of this old world a new world.” That’s why he was in Memphis to work on dignity and livable wages for sanitation workers. That’s why he spoke in “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” of “nonviolence or nonexistence.” That’s why, in that same speech, which would be his last, he powerfully proclaimed, “I believe that we as a people will get to the Promised Land.”

These are not the words of a man who had lost hope or who “disliked” the progress he worked on and led.

I encourage you to read Daddy’s writings and listen to his speeches. Please do critical analysis of people’s comments and don’t take sound bites and run with them.

I know that my father’s life, activism, and teachings remain of great interest to people. That’s good. What would be truly impactful is if that interest and deeper study were used to drive out hate, eradicate the Triple Evils, and create a humane, just global society.

[Michael Jackson Crave @moonwalker4077]

On this date in 1984, at the peak of the Thriller era, President Ronald Reagan welcomed Michael Jackson to the White House. MJ received the Presidential Public Safety Commendation for allowing "Beat It" to be used in a national campaign against driving under the influence.

Ronald Reagan opened his remarks by jokingly saying, "Well, isn't this a thriller!" He also snuck in another wordplay reference, telling Jackson to "please give some TLC to the PYTs." Now I know that sounds a little 'off the wall,' but you know what I mean.
