It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
Join me in honoring my mother, #CorettaScottKing, this #MLKDay.
I’m grateful for her commitment to freedom, true peace, justice, and nonviolence.
I’m inspired by her love for humanity, her faith in God, and her consistency to purpose.
Without her, there would be no federal holiday commemorating my father’s birthday.
And The King Center, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated, would not exist.
Salute, Mama.

FBI headquarters is named after J. Edgar Hoover, who used State power to destroy MLK’s reputation, undermine his movement, and encourage him to kill himself. If you value “fairness and justice,” denounce Hoover’s legacy, rename the building, and exonerate everyone you railroaded.
Congratulations to @clipse on the number one independent album in the country.
Malice chose peace. Pusha chose pressure. Different lives, same roots. Same blood, different roads, same booth.
They chose each other; and gave us an extraordinary project.
