I was lucky to witness it in person at my very first job in a campaign office a million years ago, and I’m glad America has the chance to see it now.

If you’re just now getting to know Tim Walz, I want you to know he is the genuine article. He truly radiates that kindness and optimism and integrity he carries himself with.

[Angie Thomas @angiecthomas]

This was truly a day to remember. Thank you so much @friendlycitybks!

Is there any better way to end the school year than with a visit from THE @angiecthomas?! We had the best time visiting local public schools in Columbus & Starkville with such an amazing Mississippi role model. If y’all haven’t read Nic Blake yet, what are you waiting for??

Did you see us in the @nytimes profile of Columbus, MS today? 👀

Friendly City Books, an independent bookseller, opened downtown a few years ago and became a haven for its regulars.

Thanks y’all! ❤️

"It's not surprising that the Black soldiers were not on those original plaques from the 1930s," Yarborough said. "But of course we're in 2024, and it's time to figure out a way to recognize local African American men who died in service to the nation." https://t.co/PebqTBpuGu
