Five months before his own assassination, JFK poses with family of Mississippi NAACP's Medgar Evers, who was assassinated today 1963, hours after Kennedy gave his civil rights speech:
This picture of Mrs. Myrlie Evers-Williams comforting her son Darrell at his father’s funeral breaks my heart.
It is all too similar to photos I have seen of my mother and me at my father’s funeral. The same grief. The same violence. The same racism. The same ache of a child forced to grow up without a father and a wife forced to live without her husband.
Sixty-three years ago today, Medgar Evers was assassinated after a life of courageous service for civil rights and voting rights. My prayers are with Mrs. Myrlie Evers-Williams, the Evers family, and all who continue to love and honor him.

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
There isn’t a moment that goes by that my mom’s words and example aren’t guiding me. I will always carry the values that she gave me, which I’ve done my best to pass on to my daughters, too.
Happy Mother’s Day. ❤️
#OTD in 1948 my dad graduated from @Morehouse, a milestone that helped set the foundation for his leadership in the civil rights movement. His time there grounded him in purpose, discipline, and a lifelong commitment to justice.
To this year’s graduates, may you leave with that same commitment to build, lead, and serve.
🙏🏾… Some people will and have taken the money from these media companies trying to make my Uncle a villain. The money is just too good all around for some. They will lie, deceive and manipulate for the bag even though they would never win in a courtroom anywhere on the globe. 🐍🤑💰💲💵
Em 1993, Tim Whitehead, primo de Michael, revelou ao programa de Geraldo que essa proposta veio de um tabloide. No mesmo episódio, Alfonso Ribeiro também revelou que seu pai recebeu a mesma oferta de 100 mil para dizer qualquer coisa negativa sobre Michael. Ambos recusaram.
"Não havia nada questionável, eu simplesmente não acredito nisso. Trabalhar com Michael foi a melhor coisa que poderia ter acontecido na minha vida", declarou Alfonso ao longo dos anos. Na foto abaixo, aparecem Michael Jackson, Alfonso Ribeiro e seu pai.
Alfonso e Michael se conheceram em 1984 quando participaram de um comercial. Na época, Alfonso já era dançarino e havia participado de outros comerciais e espetáculos na Broadway. Ele sabia dançar o moonwalk e a proposta do comercial era ele imitar os passos de Michael.
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.
@OfficialMLK3 Congratulations, Yolanda, to your accomplishments and keep up the amazing work. I wish you the best of success at Columbia University 🏫🎓🍎📚🖊️💐
P.S. my nephew had also graduated 🎓 from high school.
Happy birthday, Daddy. Thank you for being a bold purveyor of true peace. Thank you for living with purpose and for radically lifting the power of love. Thank you for believing that we can defeat injustice without destroying each other. Thank you for your courage and strategic, compassionate action. Thank you for teaching me so much, even now. I remember you today, on your 97th birthday. I remember you always.
