Five years ago today, Jelani Day, a 25-year-old graduate student with his whole future ahead of him, was reported missing. A week later, his family received the news no family should ever have to hear: he was found dead. They never got the answers they deserved, and that absence of truth is its own kind of grief. We have not forgotten Jelani. Rest In Power.
If you have information, no matter how small it may seem, your voice could help bring this family closer to the answers they deserve. You can share information confidentially with Ben Crump Law, and if you wish to remain anonymous, your request will be honored. Help Nolan's family seek answers: https://t.co/cVswPTlt68
"It is time that other peoples in America besides white males run for the highest office of this land." This was Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman to run for president in 1972. ❤️🖤💚
Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.
Through Beauty 2 The Streetz, Shirley Raines gave Skid Row more than food and makeovers, she gave hope. She reminded us that dignity is a human right, no matter your zip code. A Sister to the people. Her impact will live on. Rest in Power, Shirley
When an American civilian was shot by ICE, the mayor of Minneapolis didn’t sugar coat it:
“ICE, get the F*CK out!”
That’s leadership. That’s humanity. That’s how you stand up to state-sanctioned terror.
To all of the MAGA Republicans and ICE defenders who are claiming that this woman in Minneapolis, Minnesota, tried to run ICE officers over with her car before they shot and killed her, here is the actual video.
As you can clearly see, there are three ICE officers to the side of her car, and she slowly pulls away as they shoot her in the face. This is Trump‘s America.
Black people...DO NOT GIVE INTERVIEWS!!!
They want the face of SNAP to be Black ppl, so they can justify cutting it.
The majority of ppl on SNAP are white ppl but they'll ONLY show Black faces.
