In 1939, 20-year-old Jesse Lee Bond was lynched in Tennessee after asking a store for a receipt. More than eight decades later, his great-granddaughter, Kyra Harris Bolden, made history at just 34 years old as the first Black woman to serve on the Michigan Supreme Court.
Jenifer Lewis said, “Vote like your life depends on it,” and baby, she meant every word. Clean air. Safe water. Medicare. Basic decency.
They want us exhausted, quiet, and checked out.
I say get loud, get registered, and vote like hell 🔥

I never understood the stereotype of black Americans being lazy. Like we were forced to work for people for free for about 200+ years. Then have to work harder than others to get into decent positions in life. How are we lazy?
Why does homosexuality seem to be the only "sin" Christians are concerned with? The Bible has plenty to say about adultery, greed, hatred, lying, stealing, hypocrisy, judgment, and how we treat others.
Everybody hate Black Americans but everybody wanna copy Black American culture i.e. our slang, our music, our style etc. The most famous Black celebrities in the world have all been Black Americans. Who would y’all be without us?
Let's not forget BLACK AMERICANS WALKED to work for 381 days during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. We took the hottest, most dangerous jobs in Ford's foundries, steel mills, and factories, and helped build the companies that run this country today. Lazy? PLEASEEE
I told a man I barely cook or clean because my man does most of it for me. I do it once a blue moon.
He told me I’m awful and “taking advantage” of my man.
So ladies, I’m just here to let you know that if you’re cooking, cleaning, going to work AND taking care of the kids every single day… you’re being taken advantage of too.
A man said it, not me.😂😭
