Every time folks talk about Black folks and our “qualifications”, I’m reminded of the legend Coach Thompson.

Oma’s Kitchen Floor, 2008, Oliver Beer

"Oma was my grandmother. She put the lino down in the 1960’s and over four decades her feet gradually wore through the decorative pattern. Like a drawing made over forty years, these worn patches describe half a lifetime of movement."

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

We lost another doctor today
To COVID
But this doctor was mistreated. Her symptoms were ignored, downplayed and dismissed. She posted a heartbreaking video begging her fellow doctors to help save her...
She called the patient advocate...
She called the chief medical officer...
