Sunny Hostin on the White House accusing the Smithsonian institution of radical ideology in its museums exhibits: "This reflects a really broad effort by the Trump administration to reshape the way the nation's history is told so that this country does not have to pay Black people for the forced labor and the unpaid labor that built this country."
If #SandyBrondello really said "she's a protected species" in the way many people are interpreting it, then she could be in big trouble.
Angel Reese has already responded publicly, and don't expect the Atlanta Dream to just shrug this off. @WNBA@TempoBasketball@Reese10Angel
But Elaine race massacre against black farmers in Arkansas 1919. It was known as part of the red summer.. BLACK farmers wanted to farm a Union and a white mob was against it so they joined forces with the police and the military to massacre Black people in a church.

Diahann Carroll was born on this day in 1935 in the Bronx, N.Y. She was a model, singer, actress and activist who was a trailblazer for Black women on Broadway and television. Her six-decade career helped reshape the landscape for Black women in the entertainment industry. /1
Six years ago today, we lost a TRUE American hero.
I have no doubt that John Lewis would still be on the front lines, fighting for our voting rights with the same courage, conviction, and unwavering hope that defined his life.
It’s heartbreaking-and frankly shameful-that after all he sacrificed, after all so many sacrificed, we’re still fighting for something so fundamental.
His legacy reminds us that democracy isn’t self-sustaining. It requires participation, vigilance, and yes… a willingness to get into a little #GoodTrouble.
Thank you, Congressman Lewis, for showing us what courage looks like.
We will never forget.
John Lewis
February 21, 1940 – July 17, 2020
Today, we honor the life and legacy of Congressman John Lewis—a Civil Rights icon who dedicated his life to justice, equality, and voting rights. From the Edmund Pettus Bridge to the halls of Congress, his courage changed America forever.
His message still inspires us: Get in GOOD TROUBLE. NECESSARY TROUBLE.
Rest in power, Congressman John Lewis. 🕊️✊🏾 Your legacy lives on.

Six years after his passing, I still feel the absence of my beloved Uncle John.
He devoted his life to opening doors that had been closed, defending the right to vote, and encouraging generations to confront injustice with courage. His leadership was grounded in sacrifice, service, faith, and a disciplined commitment to nonviolence.
Today, honor Congressman John Lewis by carrying forward the work he advanced. Make good trouble. Protect the right to vote. Help build a democracy that respects the dignity and voice of every person.

Six years ago, we lost a champion of civil rights. John Lewis spent his entire life getting into good trouble — necessary trouble — to hand off a better country to the next generation.
Together, we carry that good trouble forward. 👉 https://t.co/rUPD02QyLh
Congressman John Lewis and Rev. C.T. Vivian…great ancestors for six years. We remember them well and continue to be inspired by their love and leadership. #JohnLewis#CTVivian#TheKingCenter
Six years ago today, my parishioner, my mentor, and my hero, John Lewis, transitioned into ancestorhood. May God bless the memory of the boy from Troy, and may we all continue getting into good trouble.
