Rep. Barbara Lee: “I was walking to the Capitol and a man stopped me, a white guy, and told me I could not get into the members’ elevator...He told me it was for members only. I said, 'Sir, I’m a member of Congress' and showed him my pin. And he said, 'Whose pin did you steal?'"

My issue with Comics Unleashed returning to TV is that no one is letting people know that all of these episodes are AT LEAST 15 years old. Folks gone think we dressing like this now .

With tremendous sadness, we announce the untimely passing of Dr. Orinthia T. Montague, President of Volunteer State Community College. She started and led the organization through a transformation to improve the student experience.

Mary Fields aka Stagecoach Mary was hired as a mail carrier because she was the fastest applicant to hitch a team of six horses.

She was the first black woman employed as a mail carrier in the US and the second woman to work for the US Postal Service.

—Mary Fields was born enslaved around 1832 and freed following the American Civil War. In 1895, Fields was hired as a mail carrier because she was the fastest applicant to hitch a team of six horses. Fields was the first African American woman, and only the second woman, to work in the United States Postal Service. She got her nickname stagecoach because she never missed a day of work, even showing up during heavy snow by wearing snowshoes and carrying the mail packs on her back.

Fields stood six feet tall, and was a woman who commanded attention. Legend has it she wore a 38 Smith & Weston strapped under her apron and could hit anything within 50 paces.

After quitting the mail route in 1901, Fields opened her own laundry and restaurant with the help of Mother Amadeus, the mother superior of an Ursuline convent in Toledo, Ohio.

@AfricanArchives Biography: Marcus Garvey
https://t.co/xjC2E0kQLj

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

103 years ago today, Marcus Garvey created The Pan-African/Black Liberation flag.

Garvey was the father of the black nationalist and pan african movements, activist & founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL)

Color Meaning:
Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation;

Black: for the people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag.

Green: the abundant and vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland.

Today James Baldwin would have turned 99 ❤️

His answer to the question, “Why must you always concentrate on color?” is the best answer I’ve ever heard. Must watch.

My latest commentary for @newsone.

Interpreting Jaime Foxx's tweet as an anti-Semitic statement oversimplifies the complexity of language and cultural expression.

Happy Birthday to the talented, iconic and legendary Whitney Houston. She would've turned 60 today.

Gone, but your music still lives on.
