[Best Movie Moments 🍿 @BestMovieMom]

Steve Carell's farewell in The Office hit hard. Jenna Fischer improvised their final moment, and the emotion was real.

"I told him I was going to miss him when he left our show. Those were real tears and a real goodbye," she said. Carell left to give other characters space to develop.

[Black Journals @blackJournals01]

Four hundred Black women who cleaned and fed a South Carolina hospital walked off the job in 1969 — and the state answered with the National Guard, tanks in the streets, and a curfew.

They stayed out for 113 days. They won.

The Charleston hospital strike. The workers were nurses' aides, orderlies, and kitchen staff — paid under a living wage and fired for organizing.

Mary Moultrie led them. Coretta Scott King came and marched with them. So did the union and what remained of Dr. King's organization, one year after his death.

More than a thousand arrests. Bayonets on Charleston streets. The state dug in and would not recognize a union of Black women.

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

Five Black students helped change the history of East Tennessee State University during the 1950s: Eugene Caruthers, Elizabeth Watkins Crawford, George L. Nichols, Mary Luellen Owens Wagner and Clarence McKinney. Today, they are remembered on campus through The Path, a monument featuring life-size figures of the five students. Their story belongs to an important period when Black students across the South were challenging educational institutions that had excluded them under segregation.

Eugene Caruthers became the first Black student to enroll at what was then East Tennessee State College in 1956. A World War II veteran, Caruthers was already an experienced educator when he entered the college to pursue graduate studies. His enrollment came only two years after Brown v. Board of Education and represented an important break with the institution's segregated past. Rather than arriving as a teenager beginning college, Caruthers came as an adult seeking further education and helped open a door that had previously been closed to Black students.

Elizabeth Watkins Crawford followed as another early Black student at the college. She was an educator who pursued graduate education at ETSU and later spent decades working in education. Mary Luellen Owens Wagner was also among the pioneering group, entering an institution where Black students had only recently been permitted to study. These women were pursuing professional and educational advancement during a period when Black women faced barriers based on both race and gender, particularly in higher education.

George L. Nichols and Clarence McKinney completed the group now remembered as ETSU's first five Black students. Their enrollment may not have produced the nationally televised confrontations seen during desegregation battles at Little Rock or the University of Mississippi, but that makes their history no less significant. Integration did not look the same everywhere. In many communities, change happened through individual Black students quietly entering classrooms, completing assignments and earning degrees at institutions that only a short time earlier would not have admitted them.

Together, Caruthers, Crawford, Nichols, Wagner and McKinney helped establish a new reality at East Tennessee State. Every Black student who later enrolled there entered a university that was different because these five had crossed that barrier first. Their story is a reminder that the history of school desegregation includes hundreds of local pioneers whose names never became nationally famous, but whose decisions permanently changed the institutions they attended.

Big questions about democracy and the battle I'm in run into the realities of what I want for my family, my struggles with IVF, and being pregnant in Congress. I opened up to ELLE:

This video of Barack and Michelle Obama meeting 106-year-old Virginia McLaurin will never stop mattering.

Born in segregated South Carolina in 1909, she once wrote: “I didn’t think I would live to see a Colored President.”

When her dream finally came true, she danced through the White House and declared: “I’m here to celebrate Black history.”

She lived long enough to see history change. ❤️
