On Valentine’s Day, we remember that love is more than sentiment. It is a decision.
“I have decided to stick with love.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Choosing love means choosing courage, justice, and nonviolence in how we treat one another. It means committing to create the Beloved Community in our homes, our workplaces, and our world.
Take the BE LOVE pledge and put love into action at https://t.co/RCmjzlWONf

This Black History Month,
I want to remind you of who we are.
As Earth, Wind & Fire sang,
“We are people of the mighty.”
As my father said, “Yes, I’m Black. I’m proud of it.
I’m Black and beautiful.”
We are human beings of varying roles who descend from a diverse people. Not all were kings and queens. Some were teachers, farmers, artisans, and more.
Still today, Black people in America are diverse.
Innovative. Industrious. Inventive.
Some formally educated. Some not.
Some prospering. Some not.
Our “status in life” does not determine our worth.
We are beloved of God as
postal workers and professors.
As a former First Lady and President.
As people.
We are not apes.

I’m remembering the words of the late John Lewis, who would have turned 85 today.
During times of profound injustice and inequality, John Lewis was the conscience of America, a bastion of virtue who inspired all of us to seek a more just society.

“Voters under 30 (or, as some polls measure the young, under 35) are closely watched because to win these days, Democratic candidates need big margins among the young—and also need them to turn out in substantial numbers,” write @EJDionne and Max Keeney. https://t.co/WTov5j4ooz
