Black people really are the moral conscience of this nation.

Mind you, this is Sacramento, CA in the 90s, not MS, AL, or LA. The thing this country has to reckon with is that racism has always been a national problem across every state and not just a province of the Deep South as news media and cultural pontificators would have you believe

I sat with the latest news on Jalen Hurts last night, and three things weighed on me:

1. Jalen’s health is bigger than football.

2. The competence and allegiance of team’s medical staff’s are questionable.

3. The responsibility of sports media to respect a player’s character.

During my own health struggles in the league, a doctor once threw my test results on the table and said, “Now I’ll listen to you complain,”.

I needed answers then. From ownership, executives, coaches, and medical staff. Those same people should be answering questions in Philly right now.

Taylor Townsend spent years being body-shamed and denied funding by the USTA, only to come back and secure a historic career Grand Slam. True dominance cannot be gatekept. She stayed resilient, ignored the critics, and solidified her status as an absolute legend.

He was fighting for something as simple as the right to vote.
In Mississippi in 1955, that fight could make a Black man a target.

George W. Lee was a Baptist minister in Belzoni, Mississippi, and a voting-rights activist who encouraged Black residents to register and participate in elections.

On May 7, 1955, Lee was driving home when he was fatally shot.

His death immediately raised questions.

Was it simply a murder — or had his activism made him a target?

Many in the Black community believed Lee had been killed because of his voting-rights work.

Medgar Evers, then a field secretary for the NAACP in Mississippi, investigated the killing and pushed for greater attention to the case.

But justice never came.

No one was convicted for George Lee’s murder.

His killing became one of the early civil-rights-era murders that exposed the dangers Black Americans faced when they challenged racial discrimination and voter suppression.

Lee’s story is sometimes overshadowed by more famous names from the Civil Rights Movement.

But his struggle was part of the same fight.

He believed Black citizens had the right to participate in the democracy that claimed to represent them.

He never lived to see the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

But the struggle he joined helped expose a system where exercising a constitutional right could carry deadly consequences.

George Lee deserves to be remembered not only for how he died, but for what he stood for.

The right to vote.

The right to be heard.

The right to live as an equal citizen.

RIP to these precious young ladies. Their families deserve to know who took their lives.

Between 1971 and 1972, six young Black girls and women disappeared from the Washington, D.C. area and were later found murdered.

The victims were:

Carol Spinks, 13
Darlenia Johnson, 16
Brenda Crockett, 10
Nenomoshia Yates, 12
Brenda Woodard, 18
Diane Williams, 17

The unknown killer became known as the Freeway Phantom.

One victim, 10-year-old Brenda Crockett, reportedly called her family after she disappeared and said a man had picked her up.

Another victim, Brenda Woodard, was found with a chilling note that read in part:

“I will admit the others when you catch me if you can!”

It was signed:

“Free-way Phantom.”

Investigators looked into more than 100 suspects, but no one was ever convicted.

After Diane Williams was killed in September 1972, the murders suddenly stopped.

More than 50 years later, the case remains unsolved.

Who was the Freeway Phantom?
