Hey! My middle daughter is raising funds for a college car and asking for small donations of just $5. If you can’t donate, she’d love it if you could share her link/info instead. She appreciates any and all help. Be well! ❤️

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
Motley Rice attorneys Vanessa Davis, Josh Littlejohn, Marlon Kimpson and William Norton and co-lead counsel from Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy and Bleichmar Fonti & Auld received a shoutout from The AmLaw Litigation Daily [...]
On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.
This is the history that Trump, MAGA, and all the Republicans don’t want to acknowledge or have their children be taught. The reason why is because they want to rewrite the history of their ancestors and teach a watered down inaccurate version to the masses.
I first met Clark Reynolds when he was just three years old at our Black History Month reception at the White House.
Over the last ten years, it's been wonderful getting updates about his life through his letters. Check out how he’s doing now:
A young girl set up a gofundme for $6,000 to stay in school at Howard University.
She was at risk of being kicked out because of unpaid tuition, then, NBA star Kyrie Irving stepped in, paying $22,000 upfront to cover her education for the next 4 years.
May God bless him 🙏
Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!
Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.

This was not that long ago. And anti-Black #racism persists in the United States and abroad. Please:
1. Stop denying racism exists.
2. Be educated on racism as an issue of prejudice, abuse of power, and manipulation of privilege.
3. Commit to being informed on systemic issues.
4. Pay attention to those who say they are being violated by systemic racism/discrimination.
5. Care.
6. Study the global and national impact of racism and white supremacy.
7. Honestly examine systems infiltrated by racist ideals [Some of those systems: Healthcare, education, criminal ‘justice’ (school to prison pipeline, prison industrial complex), housing, etc.].
8. Study and quote Dr. MLK, Jr. to facilitate justice and true peace, NOT to maintain order as a form of false peace. Injustice is never in order.
9. Be open to understanding the “interconnectedness” of humanity. Think higher than 1 group “winning.” How can humanity win?
10. Decide on one system impacted by racism that you will work to change. Work on it.
11. Don’t be a racist. Give due spiritual, emotional, mental, and practical diligence to not being a vessel for hate, bigotry and racism.
12. Choose Nonviolence. Kingian Nonviolence not merely a tactic, but a love-centered way of living, with principles and steps that help create a more just, humane, peaceful world.
