Yesterday I graduated and I still can’t believe it. I dedicated my degree to my mother for her Mother’s Day gift since she is no longer here with us. I love you mom and with my sister Precious graduating yesterday too, I know you’re smiling down proud of us. Happy Mother’s Day.
LaTasha Johnson's 9-year-old son King, drowned on Monday his first day at the RVA Swim camp in Richmond, and she's received no answers or even condolences for what happened. She's asking for community support to get justice for her child, whose organs she donated to help others.
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.

The Sanatobia ommunity is boycotting the Walmart where 1-year-old Kohen Wiley was murdered and his aunt critically shot by Hunter Foster.

A 17-year-old Black student, Darryl George, was repeatedly disciplined and suspended at Barbers Hill ISD in Texas, all for wearing his locs. The school claimed it violated their dress code.
After a nearly two-year legal battle, on July 24, 2025, a federal judge ruled in favor of the district, permanently dismissing the case and preventing Darryl from refiling.
They really out here criminalizing our natural hair. This one hurts, but Darryl’s fight brought national attention to the issue. Keep your crown up, king. 🙏🏽
