MARION COUNTY: “He has 50-60 guns— I’m worried he’ll get drunk and kill me.”

In December Gary Barnett’s estranged wife told a judge she feared for her life. This week he killed her, her daughter, himself, and 3 kids—burning down the house in the process. https://t.co/fwLCMieaSz

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Dorothy Dandridge was a trailblazing black actress and singer. She rose to prominence in the 1950s as one of the first black actresses to achieve mainstream success in Hollywood.

Dandridge's talent and beauty captivated audiences, and she became a symbol of elegance and grace. She starred in notable films such as "Carmen Jones," for which she earned an Academy Award nomination, and "Porgy and Bess." Dandridge faced racial discrimination and limited opportunities in the film industry but left a lasting impact on the entertainment world. Her legacy as a talented performer and barrier-breaking artist continues to inspire generations.

Hey babies,

Here is an updated list of books by African authors that I think you should read. I've curated a wide range with stories from Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Sudan, Kenya, Ghana, Angola, Rwanda, Tanzania & more. A lot of historical fiction; some diasporic writing; pure talent:

Da Baby knew that he was performing with Megan and Tory for that festival… They knew Tory wasn’t supposed to be ANYWHERE around Megan and they still thought it would be cute to dress him up in a costume and surprise the crowd when Megan literally just walked off the stage… Nobody is lying on them… that is what they did!!!

Every time I walk along the High Line or dine in what is now the chic and elegant Meatpacking District I can feel the echoes of what came before. I’m can’t wait for ppl to see this documentary so they understand who was here first!

This shouldn't have been a cast trip. We should have followed Kenya to Birmingham, Kandi to the Ebony Power 100, Sanya to NBC Sports, and each have one of the girls as tag-alongs. #RHOA
