Judge rules that the punishment faced by a Black Texas high school student for refusing to change his hairstyle does not violate the state's CROWN Act, which prohibits race-based hair discrimination.

When I see “made in America,” I envision small businesses toiling away, single moms crafting things in their garages after the kids are in bed, family trades going back generations. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

If the child on the left was old enough to pick cotton and the child on the right was old enough to attend Klan rallies, then today's children are old enough to learn about both of these and how they've led us to where we are today.

White people who call the police on Black folks don’t just want us removed from their sidewalks or their parks or their cookouts or their neighborhoods. They want us dead.

Dear White People. You do not get the day off with pay. #juneteenth

As a Black man in America I’ve never feared my Muslim brothers and sisters.

It was young white men who hung my ancestors. It was young white men who became cops & got away w murdering us.

The biggest threat to Black liberty has always been white men.

Ruth Whitfield survived life into her 80s, only to be mercilessly gunned down by the same spirit of hatred that strung our ancestors up in trees. Let’s keep singing, praying and waiting for them to love us back. That seems to be working.

A study found that African American farmers lost about $326B worth of land in the U.S. due to state-sanctioned discrimination in the 20th century! This huge loss is yet another contributing factor to our current racial wealth gap! This MUST be addressed! https://t.co/bpKuaiVYdx

Trauma can leave a chemical mark on a person’s genes, which can then be passed down to future generations.

New Orleans city officials allowed developers to build homes on land contaminated with chemicals linked to cancer. They didn’t tell the people who moved in.
