5 Children, AA/Blk, M/HA, AA, NA & W ages 4-8 decide they can “be” 26 things to help them learn how to heal & grow from the pand/poli/racial climate. With hands on their hips chests poked out like super heroes, they all shout, “I COULD BE BRAVE!”. #PBPitch#BVM#POC#PBDiv
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is now a honorary member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. She provided a statement exclusively to @cnn about her induction yesterday.
On this day in 1960, four black college students staged a sit-in at a whites-only lunch counter at Woolworth's in Greensboro, NC.

@karchino@StephenKing There should be an automatic notification to the authorities when someone buys "a lot" of weapons and especially rounds. This cannot be overlooked any longer. There should also be a 48 hour wait period before they can be picked up, along with a national registry background check.
I Wonder if the numbness & quiet outrage was experienced by Blacks fr 1882-1968 when 4,743 lynchings occurred all over US those 86 yrs.
That's the only way I can comprehend this high level of cognitive dissonance & lack of legislative response by people in congress. @maryee09
