Watching 1979 World Series, my dad pitching.... even though I know how it ends, I'm still nervous as I was in 1979.

We're all flawed and we all get floored too but we have a choice: get back up and keep moving or stay down. You know what to do.

Let me introduce you to Virgil Lamar Ware. He was an eighth-grader, an A student who loved to play football.

Virgil had a bright future. He dreamed of becoming a lawyer.

All those hopes and dreams ended on September 15, 1963. The day he was gunned down in the aftermath of the Birmingham church bombing.

Virgil and his brother were returning home, totally unaware that the bombing had occurred.
They encountered Larry Joe Sims and Michael Lee Farley, two sixteen-year-olds coming from a segregationist rally.

When the white teens saw the Ware brothers, Farley told Sims to shoot, to “scare them.” Sims shot Virgil twice, once in the cheek and once in the chest.

The 13-year-old died on the Docena-Sandusky Road on the outskirts of Birmingham.

Young Virgil was buried on the side of the road up until 2004 when he was moved to a plot with a marker thanks to donations.

DeSantis and the likes want to hide this history. History is history.

DeSantis cites “white discomfort” I experience discomfort knowing that DeSantis and the likes don’t want Black history taught.

Black children were casualties of racism. It’s a fact. Children deserve to know and learn from it. #FreshResists #BlackHistoryWithLana

In 1944, a group of white men lynched Reverend Isaac Simmons, a minister and farmer who owned 270 acres of land in Mississippi because they believed the land had oil deposits. Goal- to steal his land and profit from it.

Oh, they weren’t finished after killing the Reverend. The men then brutally beat his son and ran him out of the county.

This is one story of many where racially motivated killings of Black people in the Jim Crow South resulted in farms and land being violently stolen to profit and benefit white farmers.

This is what they’re hiding while telling Black folks to pick themselves up by the “bootstraps.”#FreshVoicesRise #BlackHistoryWithLana

Today in 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.

After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.

This is why I will vote in every election. The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing. #FreshVotesBlue #BlackHistoryWithLana

Republicans and Democrats took out PPP loans during the pandemic and there is overwhelming bipartisan support for PPP loan forgiveness. But that’s all about business, not people. It is people, Republicans and Democrats alike, who are saddled with student loan debt that has accumulated in part because of exorbitant interest rates, but yet it seems that Republicans who support even modest student loan foreignness are nowhere to be found, making instead absurd comparisons to things like car loans. Just like their taking taking credit for infrastructure projects they voted against, the hypocritical righteous indignation by Republicans against student loan forgiveness is stunning.

White "Christian's" are so desperate to be victims they will make up imaginary enemies.

I never would have imagined that life would lead to me searching for my youngest son, who would be missing for two years on the 23rd. The pain of that reality hits daily. Thanks to everyone who helped me in this journey to find my son. You are amazing people. https://t.co/LQXoJDHQ5s 🙏🏾
