Principal Team of Thought Leaders on Reparations for the Descendant Class, a Robust Black Agenda = Education, Housing, Healthcare Reform, Civil & Human Svcs.
Today, the NVCFA honors the brave American Freedmen and allies who made the ultimate sacrifice for liberty. From the Civil War to global conflicts, their courage secured our freedom. We remember them always. #MemorialDay#HonoringTheFallen#FreedmenHistory#NVCFA#NeverForget
Just finished casting my ballot at the Hidden History Museum. Shout out to @tariqnasheed
for opening the museum to the community to vote and for highlighting Jefferson Park/West Adams, the neighborhood I grew up in.
“The Trump fund would give legitimacy to administrative compensation for a politically defined class of government victims—even if neither Congress nor any court has authorized such compensation.”

Our #Freedmen ancestors taught themselves to read and write, in slavery, under threat of death, with smuggled scraps of paper or none at all, using charred limbs as pencils. #ingenuity
We've always valued education and sacrificed to achieve. That spirit persists in us.

🚨Juneteenth Must Be Properly Protected🚨
FRFT and AFLF have issued a compliance notice regarding the Beverly/Morgan Park Juneteenth Family Festival.
Juneteenth is not a Pan-African cultural holiday. It is a United States emancipation commemoration tied to formerly enslaved people in America and their descendants.
The misuse of Pan-African colors and broad “African/African-American heritage” framing dilutes the specific historical status Juneteenth represents.
Verified Freedmen history must not be reclassified.

Today the Pope apologized for the Catholic Church’s role in slavery. Yet I see people with no lineage to the Transatlantic Slave Trade demanding reparations—mostly in Africa. If reparations are paid, they should go to the descendants of enslaved people in the Americas.
