You are anointed and have the call of God upon your life to do great things. It doesn’t matter whether anyone else recognizes your calling, gifts, and talents. Stand tall, knowing that God being for you is all you need.
BREAKING: In a remarkable moment, Vice President Kamala Harris just demolished individuals protesting at her rally tonight. This is what true leadership looks like, and the crowd had her back. Retweet so all Americans see this Presidential moment. https://t.co/SQ9DPVG36s
In 1964, a white hotel manager named James Brock poured acid into a whites-only pool at the Monson Motor Lodge after Black activists jumped into the water during a "swim-in" protest.
—On June 18, 1964, motel manager James Brock poured muriatic acid into the swimming pool at the Monson Motor Lodge in St. Augustine, Florida, in an attempt to force out black swimmers who were protesting the hotel's whites-only policy. The incident was part of the St. Augustine Movement, a civil rights campaign that used nonviolent protests to challenge segregation in the city.
Brock's actions were met with outrage from the civil rights community, and they helped to galvanize support for the St. Augustine Movement. The incident also led to a national debate about racism and segregation.
The Monson Motor Lodge is no longer in operation, but the site of the pool where Brock poured the acid is now a memorial to the St. Augustine Movement. The memorial includes a plaque that tells the story of the incident and its significance.

Sandra Bland would have been 37 today.
We'll continue to say her name and fight for justice against police brutality. Black people deserve to grow old.
Sending love to her loved ones. 🖤
I love the way Jadakiss united his father and his son to build this coffee business. Everything I’ve heard so far is that this is some of the best coffee you can try, but I’m impressed by the fact we see a connection between three generations of black men building together.
