In Savannah, Georgia, Harmony wants to believe in ghost stories...but isn't sure what's real. When she goes on one of the many ghost tours around town, she takes a photo of what might be a ghost. Or is it a hoax? The deeper she digs, the more Harmony realizes that what she saw on the ghost tour might be connected to a shocking crime.

Happy #PrideMonth. Pride is rooted in protest, solidarity, and the belief that everyone deserves to live free from fear, harm, and discrimination.

My mother, Coretta Scott King, carried that commitment forward, ensuring LGBTQ+ voices were included during the 20th anniversary of the March on Washington and speaking at Atlanta Pride in 1996

Pride is also a time to uplift LGBTQ+ people of color whose voices, leadership, and courage have too often carried this movement forward without enough recognition.

Various folk wisdom traditions hold that saying "rabbit rabbit" as your first words of the new month will bring you good luck all month long. Some traditions give it as "rabbit rabbit rabbit". I'll be going with both and then an additional 473 because heck, it's worth a try.

OTD in 1851, Sojourner Truth asked a question that still echoes today: “Ain’t I a Woman?” Her words challenged injustice and forced a reckoning with who is seen, who is heard, and whose humanity is recognized. That erasure is what intersectionality helps us name.

"Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America."

The legacy of John Lewis calls us forward. The work of justice requires courage, conscience, and the willingness to stand firmly for what is right.
